Democracy

democracy may look to some, to seem a hell of a way to run a government can two parties be on the same team? that it works at all is a wonderment what rancor could be made of this? this would pass for a party plank be it elephant's or a donkey's to kiss it's squeaky wheels we have to thank we engage in rhetoric harsh to prove our point is the truth or so we say, so take your firm stance, and move! be it right or left, the other way we're gonna block your filly buster! horse tradin' is 'fer checkin' teeth uncompromisin' deals pass 'fer muster some party's purpose is to deceive our founding fathers, gentlemen all taught that with good speaking skills our House divided can not fall? it's Senate's turn to pass some bills our leaders are honest ones, with ability vision for the nations future direction turn this ship with statesmen's civility to please citizenry's best cross section yet with serious tone of impending disaster if esteemed colleagues should get their say they speak to press with sound bites faster to sway opinion polls, today's power play the whole process makes the thoughtful wonder about the ability of political men to work for their point to prove, and pull asunder national harmony, as we all go berserk democracy may look to some, to seem a hell of a way to run a government two parties can be on the same team, as compromise doesn't breed discontent to know political relations are symbiotic the nature of democracy is a bit chaotic © Goode Guy 2011-06-24 dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

GG, so glad you liked my "VanBuren Station" poem. Chicago is an awesome town. Your mention of hearing the air brakes DID enhance my memory of taking the Slant Nosed Metra. I like your "democracy" poem. In fact it's inspired me to post my "Flora of Government" poem today. ~Jim MeanderthalMan
