This Election cycle

This election cycle
I am not watching any election coverage
No polls, no town halls, no analysis, no debates

Nothing

I get distracted
Reading about the denied genocide in North
And searching about the ignored one in South

I get distracted
With deaths of my brothers doing manual scavenging
And the daily rapes of my sisters at the hands of the powerful

I get distracted
With the images of the malnourished children
And the bulldozer loving obese uncles
back home

I get distracted
Looking at the smoke filled, dark homes of the poor
And the air conditioned, shiny but simple living of the rich

Sorry, I get distracted a lot
I am completely missing this most important election of our lifetime.
