NaBloPoMo Theme of the Month - Vote

So what does it mean to vote? Yes, saying how much you love showing people how much you like them is one thing. The other part is proving that you dont like another. When you hear the word vote - if you are a Filipino born in the late 80's to the 90's - the first thing that enters your mind are those mud slinging-philandering official. Let's see, in my case, I see the old actor turned president, and all the other actors and actresses turned public "servants".

Whenever you talk about voting, more or less, you would also be talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly. Take Philippine politics, its as dirty as cow dung and smells just as bad, but we cant help but enjoy watching how they play with whatever we have left of our country. It's like watching those crappy movies. You always tell yourself and others how crappy it is but cant help but watch and wait till you find out what would happen to the bombshell leading lady who cant act like shit. Crappy? Yes... And yeah, it happens..

Politics, as they say, is a very dirty game. They also say that there are not much few good men left. And if you base it on what the television tells you, there are NO good men left. So they throw mud at each other. What else are they supposed to do? Well, for starters, they could start acting their age and stop being so bitchy about those people who plunders more money than they do. Next, maybe they could act their part in the government. Senators are not ambassadors, image models, nor your trusty neighborhood smartasses. The government should exist because the people in it work their part. Now how the hell would that happen if every now and then they get those advertisement and promotions. Blame it on those publicity people in their department. Maybe they are just funding their future plans.

As for our beloved voters (i'm not one of you guys). We admittedly can't resist a jolly candidate, nor one who hands you a crisp 1000 peso bill. But wait, is it really worth it? I've heard lots of horseshit when it election time comes. People buying people, people selling themselves. Its a big carnival show. All of the sudden, politicians turn into fairygod bullshits. They give, recieve and smile like its that easy. Well, thats basically that, its as dirty as it comes..
