Jim Yerman Poet Rhyme

SOME THINGS I BELIEVE

Before this election:
I truly believed most people are kind, loving and accepting
and the future of our country was bright.
And that after the election I would take great pleasure
when I was proven to be right.

I believed kindness, love and acceptance
would find their way into the ballot box…
I believed that…in a majority of people in this country
these feelings were quite strong.
But after this election…
it grieves me to know that I was proven wrong.

I believe this country is heading in the wrong direction…
In my heart this feeling is quite strong….
And, yes, I know the majority of people in this country
believe that I am wrong.

But I believe for a country 
without love, kindness and acceptance in it’s heart
the future is anything but bright….
and I will take no pleasure 
if I am proven to be right.
