Notes About The Poem

Inspired by the confusion & angst of each Leap Year's elections, when men and women you WISH were honest and ethical run for office.   Original title:  Blinded by the Wool

Election Wool

No voter gets an even break.
No truth may they apprise.
Taken to school
To play the fool...
Wool pulled o’er their eyes.
