Presidential Pancakes

The men in suits 
on this newest rat race
for President
are being covered nonstop 
by corporate media
the same people 
who now want to shut down
the discourse of freedom on
the internet
yes they do
they pay lobbyists 
no wonder I can't stand
the newest social media networks
it's either all about
marketing or being marketed
You begin to get cynical at my age
and focus instead on how
good the pancakes 
with butter were this morning.
