Dead Voters Come Alive

I take comfort in being dead one day
Cold and cozy in the coffin
Snug in the grave paid in full
Sadly this is not true for me and you

Just because you can't see me
Doesn't mean I am not there
Just because I am not there
Doesn't mean you can't see me

See! All dead people can pull a lever
With some clever political maneuvers
Even if you are not inclined to be alive
Rise to the occasion of persuasion

Be reborn, re-registered as a Democrat
Vote the liberal agenda in disguise
Free will is meaningless when deceased
Leave the cemeteries for the primaries

No one ever really dies to be dead forever
It serves no useful power pleasure purpose
Why not be dead and alive in several states at once
With the snap of a political finger it is done

God gives eternal life and so do politicians
All you need is a name and place of residence
“The Cemetery” will do for ever lasting registration
To vote over and over again for the agenda


*Authors note:  Sadly it is true.  It is a reality that hundreds of thousands of deceased people will be voting in this upcoming and future elections.  There are no laws or the will of the people or politicians to change this practice.

Hi Sara, Thank you for commenting. Glad you enjoyed it. Election day should be on Halloween this year. The government is serving up a couple of pumpkins on our door step and we have dead people voting. Thank God it will all be over soon. Take care. Earl
