Still Time To Vote

i still haven't voted yet
i'm truly torn
all the candidates
have pessimistic past
but the black woman had to vote last
i'm so undecided
republican, democrat why are we divided
what to do
pick the lesser of evils between the two
they preach voting is our right
none of the candidates
have my people in their key sight
what party is down for our fight
police reform and social economic improvements
civil rights all over again
this time we need better movements
time is running out
i still need to vote
but for what and for who
what to do

If you are not better off than you were four years ago, vote for a change in leadership! Whilst Trump has impoverished millions of Americans, Xi reduced extreme poverty in China from 56-million to 5-million. The USA's world rankings in education, health, welfare, housing, longevity, internet, etc. have tumbled whereas most other nations gained. The USA's wealthiest people and corporations pay no taxes. Is that what you want? Aloha! Rico

The future of the US is definitely looking a little grim!

On Monday, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, reported ZERO COVID-19 infections ZERO deaths as a consequence of following science rather than Trump's Ouija Board predictions. Where would you want your children to live? Aloha! Rico

I voted yesterday and your poem certainly resonates with me.
