Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

Political Daze

Watching the candidates debate 
One feels the pulse of the land 
We need to make our decision
Some feel it is useless and 
have given up on voting 
   But the vote is the essence of
our democracy 
   The power lies with the people 
  When it is time to throw the rascals out 
we will do it!
    Political Daze
A cloud of dust surrounds 
    the news we get 
The press is the guardian 
of our freedom 
You can't believe everything you read 
   But you can believe some of it 
Truth will out!

M. L. Kiser September 12, 2018 at 4:47 AM Truth has always, "outed"; well said, Matthew and I wish people would all read this poem. So many have given up on voting and while it's tempting; it's never a good idea. Someone had to say this and you've said it well. Matthew Anish September 12, 2018 at 11:40 AM Thanks for your kind words. Poets live in a kind of ethereal world but I still think it is good to be "in the know" about the world. i read the paper and watch political shows on TV. Peace & Love - what is you cat's name - I used to have a cat named Bilbo!
