Perhaps it has been used for so long,                                                                                                                                                                    Human line even of octogenarians,                                                                                                                                                                       Sometimes seems to work,                                                                                                                                                                                        Other times results are ugly scenarios.

The stronger will have their say,                                                                                                                                                                            The queue can be influenced at will,                                                                                                                                                                       Its appearance to many matters,                                                                                                                                                                           The winner is the one who laughs last.

The politics mostly ugly,                                                                                                                                                                                         The politicians love the queue,                                                                                                                                                                        Money changes hands regularly,                                                                                                                                                                              To influence final tally.

In the queue will find misogynists,                                                                                                                                                                    Goons well known and untouchable,                                                                                                                                                                     The politicians will use and treasure,                                                                                                                                                                    Only for a period and discard.

One should stand in the queue,                                                                                                                                                                              Tell off our politicians and their hatred,                                                                                                                                                             World is more than periodic power,                                                                                                                                                                         It goes and leaves one desperate and disoriented.
