Ronald Bingham Poet Verse

Election Day Blues

Election day is a short time away,
  And each candidate has pretty much had their say.
So now the ball is in our court and we must choose,
  As to whom will lead this country’s next four year cruise.

One offers change while the other offers truth,
  So search your heart while you’re in that booth.
The one with the experience seems to be trailing right now, 
  While the other mesmerizes his followers and I don’t see how!

The man that I choose would take a bullet for me,
  And never stop fighting to keep this nation free.
Question, how can you be Commander and Chief,
  If you’ve never been in the service, Good Grief?

How can you tell someone how it tastes if you’ve never taken a bite?
  And we need a proven warrior to end this fight.
Please use common sense when you cast that vote,
  A lot is at stake, and a wrong choice may not have an antidote!!!!

November 3, 2008 at 4:42 PM So much truth in your words. And yes, there is a lot at stake. I'm worried about this election and am praying God will see us through this next four years. Thank you for sharing this well-written and timely poem with us. Karen

Louise Nelson October 24, 2008 at 10:08 AM nice sentiment, but unless you've already been the President of the United States, you have no experience as POTUS (Preisident Of The United States) I personally have nothing against anyone who has served in the armed services but having been a soldier is not enough experience to hold a position that requires more than the knowledge of how to handle a weapon. just my opinion. love always, louise nelson
