Wow they say
then turn back the page
and vote for him or her
Excellent they admit
as they switchback
and vote like they should and they did
but 34 votes in one day
what does the mayor have to say?
Voter apathy?
tell me thisisnt happening!!!
Is it true the elderly vote in record numbers
and those trying to change the world are too apathetic to care
it's their future its their world
why should the senile be forced to guide it
in wheel chairs and deathbeds?
its just not fair!!!!
34 votes in one day and the polls are closing in
soo few people showed up to care about the way the world was shapeshifting
so what if it does?
so what if it did?
why dont we just leave it alone?
says the stupid smart king
and they will all tell you such nice things to your face
but when it comes down to the nitty gritty
noo ne is there to support you
or put you in your rightfull place
Its psychotic says the Bride
lets just go home
I can't stand to be here to help these people when they dont care at all
and the jester made a joke
in front of the king
and the voting was supposed to proceed in front of an interactive audience
an audience that did nothing
OOOOOOhhhhh
aaaaahhhhh
theyd clap and cheer
but when it was time for them to pick a favorite
the dissapearing act they would all perform
and the mayor and the lawyer got together
and they thought
and they thunk
and they sat
and the jester even said the whole situation stunk
34 votes in one day out of millions of people who care about the future
34 votes among literary geniuses who are supposed to be humbled
and intelligent to pick a leader and a preacher
well dear martyr what do we do
34 votes in 24 hours and the jokes on us
I voted twice said one lad
I've been here all day
I voted three times piped up an old lady with one good eye
but your gonna have to speak up sunny
I voted for each of you three times
cause i just couldn't pick
now listening to this made the bride really sick!!!!
she began to weep and the jester was nervous as hell
never before did he see a king fail setting up a democracy
where no one cared at all
and every generation we have to go through this spat the stupid smart king
so pay attention little boy blue he said
and learn from me
they don't care theyre too apathetic to know any better
they'd rather be entertained and worry about the wether
theyre not going to treat you like a god but blame you for everything
and this is the curse i give unto you
because of my royal name
do you want it?>
The little boy was smart and he saw what he saw
he talked to the jester he talked to the bride
he talked to the voodoo queen
he talked to the jester
and then he said well i can decide
Let's just run away and let them see if they can find us
let's see if they care after we dissapear
and leave this stupidity behind us
so away went the king
and his little boy blue
with his bride
and the mayor sat there knowing what it was he must do
The throne was practically his and he had just inherited a jester
the riddle had to be written
so he sent for the wizard
34 votes in a day said the mayor to the wizard
and the king of the land has run away
leaving me holding the bag
what am i to do he asked shaking
for soon enough the people of the land would begin to ask
well the wizard though for awhile and then went off to work
he wrote some riddles
and some clues
for the wizard unlike the jester the mayor knew the prophet
and knew this was to be true
so the wizard did what the prophet had asked
the dissapeared himself and found the king and his boy blue and the bride
sun bathing in a far away land
There are things ive done in your name said the wizard to the king
for your people predicted by the prophet
and for now your living the high life of luxury differently
but your son will one day want what is in his blood lines
and so i wrote some riddles and left them for him to find
and the wizard disappeared again
one of his favorite acts
taught it to the prophet as well
as they had a pact
now little boy blue was one day going to grow up to be a man
who had decided to throw away his kingdom
and then solve puzzles of logic\
and tests of bravery to prove he was the rightful man
the bride cried knowing what was to come to pass
for her mother the witch had evil intentions and plans
she was pregnant and her daughter was on the way
one day we will have a throne ruled by the watchtower her evil mother
the witch did once say
Little boy blue and 34 votes
how does your story end?
where does your story go?
34 votes and an apathetic world to look after
will they ever find out
do they care to vote?
