Issues Over Personalities

imagine now if we could shelf the faces, the faces of liars, the pocketed charlatans, imagine now if we could stop the ads, stop the speeches, stop the funding, stop the campaigns, stop the illusion of hope vested in a smile, a nod, a salute, a good hairdo or the mention of the word “faith”--- imagine if we americans, we “leaders of the free world” (right), were to have issues precede any personality, imagine if our hands weren’t bound by unemployment, debt, poverty & pure desperation, which up until the moment we realized we had it, we seized power for us--- imagine if the jobs that needed being done following the issues that needed being solved, were followed through by groups of concerned, voluntary individuals, to think that the business of politics would die in the gutter when the elite no longer had a stake in it--- imagine if you had more to say than just a walk into the ballot box on the 6th of Nov. & imagine if you stood up & said it, without the need to be known for saying it--- to get in line get in line get in line, as just another human who wants to really take part in the process of making this place better.
