Promising Rhetoric

if i am not elected: you will be able to sleep that night if i am not elected: the very next day, you will hunger if i am not elected: young children will cry - for their mothers if i am not elected: some grandmother will fall - and break her hip if i am not elected: crimes will be committed, and dogs and the derelict will wander the streets if i am not elected: people worldwide will cry, and laugh if i am not elected: some will, and some will not care, about you if i am not elected: you - yes you, will look into the distance and wonder perhaps if it would have made a difference if i am not elected: our momentary democratic lives will continue to their inevitable democratic end i ask for your vote in the upcoming election, not for me, as i intend to think - and perhaps nap, but for yourself, yourselves, you who might hold dear to the promises of tomorrow i promise you will find some fulfillment there © Goode Guy 2012-08-27
