You may call it apathy if you like,
But that is somewhat of a misnomer,
I just refuse to be a cheerleader
For either mainstream party. Because I
Believe they are both equally corrupt.
Indeed, I feel so much better now that
I've seen the light. No longer will I waste
My precious time and energy on things
That will probably never change. Perhaps,
One day the scales will fall from your eyes,
And you will do the same. Life is short and
Times are hard, so just enjoy the moment.

I would like to translate this poem
it is so hard to find the political middle ground of today. What is a safe bet, is still technically a gamble. People feel they're becoming marginalised and become apathetic, when seeing what is on offer. The glory days of a good government balanced by a good opposition are tragically long gone. Only a barren wilderness remains. Full marks and take care my friend.
