Another Race

____________________________________________________________________________________

Hope and Illusion had a race
To see who would control...

Never mind. This one was no contest.
Hope leaves Illusion in the dust.

Hope wins by a country smile.
The crowd cheers.

Hope is hoisted onto the victory stand.
Speeches are made and promises are  promised. 

Roses  are  wreathed  around Hope's  neck.
In the palm of Hope's hand is the crowd.

And all  the honors  to be bestowed: 
Book contracts,  movie deals, a month in Malibu,
An hour with Oprah...

But it's all an illusion.

    That's why there's some kind of election every hopeless year

    And most of those elections are utterly hopeless...
