CayCay Godwin Poet Rhyme

After the Election

I am so glad we all attended –
all were fired up and primed.
Though disagreements flared,
it is apathy that feels a crime.
So I am glad people cared
and had their views shared.

It is most amazing to me
how differently we see.
I must admit it is real,
how differently we feel.
I observe as growth objective
how we differ in perspective.

Now, after the election
we seek changes detection.
Now, upon my reflection
on the political game,
I believe that US strife
may stay life the same.

But is it not a sweet gift that in this rift
individualism showed its mechanism and
through all this election patriotism
we chanced learning our unique synergism?

Demetrios Trifiatis November 25, 2016 at 5:35 AM Elections in the USA is something that concerns the entire world therefore the responsibility of a USA citizen is enormous! A lot of things were said from both sides that should not have been said but now as you say my dearest, Cay Cay is time for you to come together and trace a "new" direction! Excellent approach!

Connie Marcum Wong November 25, 2016 at 3:48 AM Life is change and we need to accept what cannot be changed and pray for the best. I like that you leave it with a question CayCay...my captcha says RUM so I guess I am joining you gals and I 'll bring the rum! Lol ; )

Nette Onclaud November 24, 2016 at 2:11 PM rightly so, cay... back to goodwill and synergy after the votes have been cast... stay positive; lovely, inspiring piece.. huggs

Paloma P November 24, 2016 at 10:41 AM Effective contrasts, love the word synergism, why the question mark CayCay? Captcha is PUB, good idea, I'll buy the first round. :) CayCay Godwin November 24, 2016 at 10:48 AM Because the last stanza is a question, goose. I love the Captcha! I plan to indulge a few 'pub'-like good, bad habits today as we give thanks. Would enjoy your company, I'm sure ... CayCay, now kitchen bound and Cowboy wound
