The Halloween season is upon us again. It is traditionally a time of terror!
We all crave the gore and fright of the legends of the season. We sit around and tell scary stories to give the kids a scare, but never have you heard of a terror like this, a horrific tale of monsters and demons tricking the innocent into following them to their certain doom.
There is a breed of human that is scarier than the zombie apocalypse. A breed of humans that would suck your life force without you knowing.
No, it isn’t Dracula; this breed makes Dracula look like an amateur. It isn’t a werewolf, although they do prey on sheep. They are politicians. Lying, stealing politicians that are only rivaled by Satan himself. Politicians look like everyday humans, they will shake your hand and kiss your baby, and you can even feel their flesh. But don’t be fooled, these politicians are only after one thing … your vote.
Every four years there is an event that mortals call an Election, but others call it “The Time of Deceit.” Most people think we are electing someone to make our country new and reborn into its once great power. Really, we are voting on the head politician.
Politicians look like humans, in fact, most of them used to be normal. They used to live off of food and air and water just like the rest of us. Until one day they were bit by the greed bug. They then learned to survive off of power and money. It is their fuel, it is their life force and they will stop at nothing to get it.
This year is no different. Our candidates have fallen ill to the “Time of Deceit,” just like so many before them. They are hungry for votes, they want them so bad they will say and do anything to get them.
It is an epic battle of empty promises and slanderous attacks and in the end one comes out victorious and the other just walks away.
Politicians are only dangerous because “We the people…” are the ones who are split and torn to bits. Our wallets are emptied and our hands are held open, begging for scraps from their table.
Some people have gotten swept up with these ghouls; they actually believe these changes that are promised to us will actually come true. What they have forgotten is that each of the men (and women) staring at us through cameras with their nice suits and beady eyes are after but one thing … your vote.
The vote that is held so dearly to your heart, the vote that represents all that you stand for, is nothing but a number to them.
They have survived for years on just enough votes. But this year will be different. This year, I trust that the nation will awaken from its apathetic slumber and vote in mass. This should poison the monsters and render them powerless to the numbers that, all of a sudden, will have a voice.
