Premium Member Election Day

Today is voting day, I must make it a goal
            I'd rather take up residence at the north pole
                             All the cat fighting 
                              And name calling
         To be honest ,I don't want neither one in control

Premium Member Let's Do It Election Insanity


Yes, Let's Do it. Election Insanity.
....................

Yes! Let us have all felons vote!
Better yet, let's muddy the "Swamp"
Have known killers run for Congress.
Perhaps, even be our President.
Indeed, the Americans have gone looney.

Must be chugging down really cheap wine.
Or smoking tons of powerful Ganga.
Don't forget the OxyContin...Whooh!
Let's believe those who work are evil.
Pit them against those who will not.
A typical Communist famous card trick,
Played by Commie crooks.

Let's knock over every statue of those who
made America great,
And replace them with un-American ingrates.
Let's replace them with killer rappers,too
Or female singers on TV, who love to
flash their woo-hoos!

And a special garden so inspired,
Dedicated to disgusting race-batters, too?
And a special duo needs one, also
Stormy Daniels and Avenatti, a dude so
falso!
The newest one to Jussie Smolett,
all made in gold.
Hope that idea. Leaves you cold!

Why heck! We took God out of schools.
Then like refards,we complain ,they don't 
know the Golden rule.
No, they don't..you removed a basic tool.
And to salute the flag? Oh, no, they won't!
Flags are to be stomped on and for the
Burning?
All this sets my stomach churning.

In recent years, our government wanted
Their spies in churches.
Yes your ministers are evil don't you know?
But into a mosque, the FBI may not go.
Christians are a dangerous breed!
Really? Yes, so say all the druggies high on 
speed.

This is my brief peek as what's coming down
the pike.
I find it all dismaying and not at all right.

Election Year

The election year, it's upon us again,
We must decide once again who will win. 

The media is misleading, and often quite crude,
The candidates themselves are liars, and lewd. 

The rally's are exciting, and full of good fun,
But things do get ugly, before it's all done.

It's become a real circus, with villains and clowns,
But a decision must be made in our cities and towns. 

Do you vote for the corrupt nominee wearing blue,
Or go for the red, in his political debut?

Premium Member Election Fraud Questions

If there was no election fraud: 
Then why so much determination to stop discussion about it?
If it is one big lie, are they calling all the Americans who testified liars?
Those who testified after signing sworn affidavits?
Even with those being brave enough to do so with death threats?
If it is so much of a lie, then why aren’t they in jail?
For that is the consequence for lying after signing the affidavit
They are not to blame for their testimony restricted to state legislatures,
Instead of being allowed into the courts, where it should be presented
Why didn’t the main stream media cover these hearings in detail?
To me, it doesn’t matter what side you are on or affiliated with
This is a federal election with proven evidence, numbers and facts,
Truly revealed in hours of testimony from credible witnesses
I would like to believe that anyone would want this fairly reviewed
It is shocking such serious matters are ignored and discounted
After all, it is our votes involved in the outcome, regardless of the result
To think that fairness in something like this goes ignored, is appalling

*We all have a right to ask these questions

Is This the Best We Can Do

in a country of  335 million people
one of the richest more educated places
on the entire planet

the largest economy, 
the best military
still for now a democratic country

is this the best we can do
choose between three old white men
as our next leader
and the leader of the world ?

a clearly delusional  NYC ex reality TV star president
still talking about draining the swamp 
and fighting the evil deep state 
destroying the government in the process
as he and his cronies loot the country 

a gadfly Senator ex Brooklyn Jew from small town Vermont 
formenting radial revolution
yet failing to excite anyone but the young
and those falling behind 

and a professional politician who has been around for decades
calling to restore the old failed status quo 
saying that he can restore competence to the government
hoping that the third time is the famous charm

dear God if you exist
is this the best we can do?
nothing but silence
as God does not answer my plea

Military Coup Erupts In Gabon After the Re-Election of Ali Bongo

Some senior military seized power in Gabon today,
Ali Bongo 's family led the country 
in fifty five years under umbrella 
of French  government as there were protected
The so called French interests to be on power. 
Today  President Ali Bongo is informing
the world about his arrestation by the military.
He does not know where could be his son 
and family as  they are in different places.
The senior  military accused him of stealing votes
for third time so that he could  continue 
to rule like a puppet of some westerners 
While the people continue to suffer here and there. 
Many young African leaders are tired of fake promises 
of some  selfish politicians who care for themselves 
and continue allowing African natural resources 
to cross the seas due to some agreement
 with some western countries
 which could not reach  fifty years 
after so called independence and democracy 
in west and central Africa. 
It is eighth coup d' états in Africa from 2020 to today 
 as many Africans wish some  regimes change. 
It will be wise for French government officials to say
loudly " good bye Africa  as they are no longer welcomed."

On Election Day

Whither those songs of patriotism 
Of which they so freely spoke?
They new-breeds have been fully clad
In old and worn-out costumes
The rickety customs are on the thrive!

Surely we are in a new heaven:
There many things must be amiss,
The old chant-songs of undue death,
Of rigorous riggers and their thugs,
Of vagabonds, vandals and more!

Where are the voters?
Those sands of men whose presence
Have been acknowledged in today’s books?
Voters indeed: they were there!
Isn’t today like former days?

The Great Election

The Great Election
By Betty Harp Butler

Two sides are battling a great fight.
Their banners have been unfurled.
The heat is on, the battle is strong,
While each man takes his turn 
And tries to maintain his lead,
But…

God is in his Heaven,
And all is right in His World.
God will unfurl His banners.
In a strange way, He intervenes
In our lives.
His way is right.
He will do what is good for us.
Pray and wait on Him. 

He has a say in this World.
We must wait to see what He will do.
He knows all, He sees through the fog.
His way will stand the test, He can intervene.
Wait on Him, it yet remains for us to see what He will do.

Pray again! His banner will soon be unfurled.
And we will say again—
What a great God is our God. 
He watches over all in our World.
It is no secret what our great God can do. 
Just hold on to his hand, 
And the right way will be shown to you. 
Listen…

Premium Member Election 2016

He has no laser vision, and he lacks the gift of flight.
 He has no rocket car to drive; his clothes aren’t even tight.

He's a stranger to Metropolis and Gotham’s out of reach
 So he spends a lot of time just South of Erie’s beach.

He fell from space and landed hard, in Cleveland, USA.
 It’s not somewhere he’d choose to be, if he could have his way.

He thinks Ohio's pretty drab, and something’s gotta change
 perhaps he’ll run for president; come now…it’s not THAT strange.

He can start in NYC, a sleepy little town…
 to test the slogan that he’ll use: America, Get Down.

He’ll fix his tie, and light a smoke; he'll practice his quack-fu.
 The platform that he's running on is always-tell-it-true.

Trump vs. Clinton’s getting old, those two both really suck.
 So next year when you’re at the polls, vote: Howard the Duck!

Written In Indian Election Time

Oh God!
When this state be free
And an independent kingdom again!
India, a hypocrites’ country, is a Power,
And although we are famous for being straightforward
But, a small nation, in Arms and Weopens we are very weak.
Otherwise, now tired of Double-talk Dialogues and humiliating 
Invitations for Talks,
We’d make it, in a violent war in air.
And an another aggressive Muslim state,
Pakistan (land of the pure!) has kept us captive, there, 
Across the nonsensical border,
And gifted a part, of us, to its Mongol friend!

And Shame on their living! 
These petty politicians in this Indian election time
Are frequenting this forgotten village street.
Some scared of a villain Indian minister,
Others, licking her feet, a widow woman politician.
While others immature, in the nights' dark,
On the roadside walls, are propagandizing for Pakistan.

Ah Alas!
All great politicians are gone,
Like prophets, painters and poets,
These modern high standard schools 
Can not create.

Election Debate

Two suits with familiar faces, the faces that we focus our battles.
These masters of the future, in your name they act, but you claim no blame.
So when a war is fought or the smog embalms us, will you still shout with tears that democracy lost out?

So the comedy continues,  your part once more in audience.
And when our continued blinkered, forced ignorance prevails.
Will your sons and daughters blame the system, the money, or the Blairs?

Premium Member Election 2004

Candidates disputing, scratching, wailing, crying, whining.

Blasts of good here,
Bad there
What truth is there to believe?
Turn off the un-statesman like banter.

Coffee turned cold with no paper to read,
discarded because the riotous words fly at our morning faces.

Answer the phone – 
one party, another party,
please give us your vote.
Don’t answer and long messages overflow your memory.

A walk to the mail box
and stacks of colorful cardboard flyers
tumble out all over the road.

They scatter in the wind and are gone
like wasted dollars
that could have fed a hungry nation.

Awaiting Election Day

I long for Tuesday.
Politics invade through calls
each hour, begging votes.
