Off Switch On

Political vigilante mobs
on the job 24/7
polluting social media
with their gotcha bullshit

Perpetually pissed off outsiders
sabotaging exasperated powers that be   

but on January 20th
after Inauguration Day
they switch shifts

as a whole new crew
of naysayers move in
to replace
the now jubilant former obstructionists
eagerly ready to assume power
as the tired wheel
of cynical government turns
but continues going nowhere
