Survival

Absorbed in chaos are both sides
We soon will see the changing of the tides
Left versus Right in this archaic battle
The end is in sight for this mudslinging prattle

Let’s get serious and put all jokes aside
This is an election that affects us all worldwide
Our planet will change on November fourth
From the West to the East and the South to the North

Let’s not forget the hell we’ve been through
This global pandemic has affected both me and you
We now need results and no more street fights
Round three is going to bring us our darkest of nights

We must work together and keep God in our hearts
Faith, hope and love will never keep us apart
I pray for my bothers and my sisters as well
I pray for God to bring peace and extinguish this living hell.

I am praying like mad. Praying as hard as I can. Election day is today, and I am sad that half the country will be devastated no matter which old guy gets it. Where are the young ones? Where is the fresh blood? Why does it always have to be an ancient old dinosaur running? Oh. Right. They have to be rich or be $400 million in the hole.

lol, I would have to agree with your statement here my friend. We're damned if we do and damned if we don't. Have a good Day Caren!

Yeah, we often get so wrapped up in secular things that we forget about God. Scary how fast it can happen.

It happens to us all unfortunately, we just have to keep reminding ourselves and each other. Have a good day my friend!
