James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Dramatic Verse

Political

Political
You aren't listening
 yes you got ears 
what am I hearing why are you in fear 
internal policies governmental new normalcy
 what's the matter with me
 is it possible Nixon Resurrected man
The one who got the most votes in 2016
You know who you know who I mean
More than a hunch
Instead of a vote for Hillary most people voted for Trump
 how did we elect them 
no it's not about Democrats or Republicans 
if I vote for you 
it's for you not your special interest groups
 how is it that the rich seems like 
equally don't have to worry about sickness
 or the cost of gas 
no man's is pure 
Or innocent and with the sun 
after all smiley faces are just a frowns
 turned upside down
 and when you're in the storm
 standing all alone 
grab your bugle and Horn
 blow the trumpet loud 
praises Heavens rise open up your mind's eyes 
open minds ever so practical manufacturer 
so if you're International political personally
 I don't vote for the party or the man
 I vote for the one who's less lying 
the one who's lying less
Oh I digress
Old man old woman what's your mission
Not trying to be cynical
But I refuse to be political
