Is Anybody Watching For Icebergs
Please pardon me if I appear to be unkind.
Don't hesitate to inform me if I'm out of line.
Most times, I hesitate or ignore, but not this time.
I'm not one given to criticism or one ever to whine.
My fellow Americans, I have grown tired and weary with debates.
Four years ago, I started to turn away from the Presidential debates.
In fact, I emailed the 2016 candidates and told them I was tuning them out.
I told them that my mind had been made up long before the debates began.
Would you believe it if I told you that one candidate bothered to answer me?
I might not write the candidates this year, but I have certainly gave up on debates. If the truth be told, the American public deserves much better, and candidates must be made aware.
No, the sky is not falling, but the ship is facing icebergs, and it matters not who wins or loses a debate. We must not fall for being entertained in the midst of so much pain in a country needing change. Clearly, this titanic needs watchmen looking out for 'icebergs' before it is too late to avoid them.
