Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Fake for Real

A candidate needs money most
To sell the voters on him/her.
Commercials air from coast to coast,
From ridicule to downright slur,
To make the opponent look bad,
So the candidate is the choice.
Paid actors are used in the ad
So to give a "real" look and voice.
The candidate is used as well,
If he/she can stick to a script,
That the pros wrote to try to sell
The candidate as trusty dipped.

Most candidates running are rich
With a made for T.V. sales pitch.
