Pattern 1010...(Just a paper in the Box?)

Governments change
(but they don't bring no change)
but that doesn't matter,
because the world is stuck in a recurring defected pattern
1010101010...one zero one zero
it's either money or reputation driven
(there is nothing pure, except for 'pure' evil)
corrupted and bitter
perverted and cruel
it follows a pattern one zero zero
it's a machine
heavily virus infected
loaded with brutalities and atrocities
that have torn down the firewall,
the fortress of the afflicted!
***
unfortunate, but change is minimal and trivial
following strictly the pattern one zero
new faces, new statements,
new news for the day
but it's all in the pattern,
it's just a parade!
i've seen it, i've heard it
i've swallowed it all,
it's a cycle of 'pure' evil
a chronic disease prevailing in all...
***
it's the dilemma choice that rises in me
a citizen who believes in the emancipation of the weak
i'm holding my ballot,
with a religious assurance
that this little paper will bring us ultimate deliverance.
i'm counting on it, casting my hopes
all my fears disappear and i feel things moving on
a citizen, a man, a woman, me...
i'm treated equally!
justice is given for free!!
***
time has past, the votes have been cast,
the results announced
the winners pronounced..
here it comes...
this moment, when i finally realize...
i haven't had a real choice...
...it was just a paper in a box!
another follow-up of the familiar pattern
one zero zero one...
how can i build back the firewall?
can i or this paper bring justice (positive change) to all?
