While few will write about elections
more will run for office and use stars
and family members to boost a public image
to create a softer touch
while the emphasis is on a land of opportunity
but more opportunity lies for those that have
than for those that don't..

There are so many that like that approach
so much success for the adaptive cockroach
there must be a reason for both to multiply and flourish
must be  a reason for an ever growing number of malnourished...


along with election tallies we will go
where counted votes will end, who knows
the importance is to believe in a better tomorrow
where thousands of school kids will opt to borrow...


more to spend on campaign trails
painted grimaces on voted tales
few to write about elections
so many votes escape detection

So few writes and so few replies...my poetry is done to make one think not necessarily to make one feel good,
to paraphase a quote that Keth uses

ecrivan!
You, my friend, succeeded in getting me thinking and I like that about you. Don't despair as I urge you to keep your chin up so we might hear your voice crying in the wilderness. Good write and as always I enjoy your perspective. And sometimes, I even agree. Peace.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
