Not Long To Go Now Until We Know

Not long to go now until we are
told we will know

How the next 4 year's are bound
to pan out

As the way it's been reported on 
it's almost like we have a casting
vote or have a say in it ourselves

Bering in mind however or whichever
way it pan's out it is entirely up
to them not us 

I highly doubt they care what we think
anyway as they have far more pressing
problems to deal with

And when such a big deal is made
of Russian interference why or how
come we don't feel the need to but 
out either

If you believe in the supposition
that the news media are the so
called all knowing visionaries
they proport to be like our very
own BBC

Then this election is moot anyway

And just how much power can
or does a President really wield 
in an actual democracy

Only a Dictator who rules by
an iron fist is trully blessed 
with the gift of absolute power

Ask any old ordinary folk who lives
in say Russia, China, Iran, Afghanistan
or Saudi Arabia

On the basis of if no one is looking 
over there shoulder or they are 
reading verbatim from a script

Pause, smile for effect praise
the leader and maybe you will
see your family again

When in Rome Christopher, we’re so lucky we can express our sentiments with relative impunity, imagine the plight of so called, prisoners of conscience rotting in prison world wide, in the country’s you mentioned plus North Korea and Iran. Makes me thankful of America, glad trump is out though far to unstable to reason with cheers David

Yeah like you said David sometimes you have to count your lucky stars or blessings. As for the future i think we are going to need more divine than political will or intervention to get us all out of this mess . At least the vaccine news is a small step in the right direction on terms of stopping the rot
