And the Winner is

And the Winner is  ..........


I knew the outcome long ago
counting ballots a waste
			just for show
Democracy lost, bought for billions galore
your new President
the same as before
Netanyahu
more dead children and babies 
the real election outcome
		was never a maybe

Hi Arthur, thought I would look back just a bit. I find it difficult to even look at Netanyahu or Trump as I find both disgusting. The ease with which they destroy should scare everyone. The fact that either has any support at all just indicates how sick the US and Israel have become. Awful really....but we as individuals can still smile because we know what is happening and don't condone their violent and disgusting behavior!!

You are a Humanity devotee.. so deep your empathy.. so humane your plea.. you are raising your voice in all the colours of Art in a profound awareness and solid conviction of what you are believing in.. with winter in we hope its cold would not freeze the warmth, Love and actions of Humanity.. A great message in your shaking poetry! God bless you Arthur. Best regards.

I hope the bombings will stop, for the children's sake and the babies. This is tragic. Heartfelt piece my friend. Let's hope and pray it stops. Thanks for sharing this heartfelt write of yours.
