With the right to defend your borders...elect
the right to evict voters and boarders...reflect
on how the country was set as a haven
and a smoker could choose a Craven...

freedom for all far and wide
freedom for hypocrisy to hide
that defend the rights of a dominant few
that feeds news trash to a long legged gnus

but with a ballot box submerged
on what criteria would leadership emerge,
but to a man with a longer rifle
to a media entourage
where real news is stifled

or would you rather have an autocrat
a cloned leader who's always at bat
where electoral process is off the menu
as more power in fewer hands is served...

Good strong poem about the right to vote and the responsibility to get it right.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

I agree this is a powerful poem.
Need the right man to do the right thing
for all of us.

Politics isn't an honest profession but here
you have a leader who has interfered with the constitutional rights of certain individuals and is creating a sham out of democratic sytem by fudging ballot results in Fla and numerous other infractions.
