The Monkey and the Clowns

The political monkeys wore toupees and caked-up makeup, proudly and demonstrably, in the circus of the political arena. They were feasting off of everybody’s bananas and throwing the peels and artificial rhetoric to the crowds. A bunch of clowns sat packed in the stands fanatically, as if at a football game. The political monkeys gave out steel-tight handshakes and artificial smiles. They were self-aggrandizing and ego-maniacal. They couldn’t wait to get back on the political circus stage and behind the hall of mirrors, built over centuries.

Overconfident, none of them were aware they had lost the real battle, they had lost the populace. The monkeys in the stands realized their own power, ditched the clown outfits and literally dragged the political monkeys off stage. They shattered the electorate and went back to a true one monkey one vote system.

They had been tired of the sham and the scam of political billionaires and millionaires running the democratic circus. This time, they voted for a noble homeless monkey who would change the status quo for the whole world. They didn’t vote for a politician, nor did they choose the lesser of two or four evils. They voted for the restructuring of the political process – for the growth and evolution of a more sincere democracy. Then they went back to the barbecue dancin’ and singing’.
