Gullible Sheep

Gullible sheep that flocked to the polls Were wooed by promises of lofty goals Hope they are happy With leaders so sappy Pray next election attracts saner souls Robert L.

Now this poem hit home. Don't know what the next election will bring. Can it be worse or can it get better? I fear what is coming for our country. I'll close on that note. God Bless, Cile
