Notes About The Poem

I think the bus needs more riders (voters) to make the driver make the stops that more passengers require.

The 2016 Election Year Bus Ride

This 2016 Election Year
Bus Ride
By Franklin Price
2/17/2016

This 2016 election year 
Is most critical for us
Will determine riding in the front 
Or the back end of the bus

Will the driver take the steering wheel 
Lights on  the road to see
Or still drive on in darkness
To places where we should not be

Will the bus be camouflaged
 in multi shades of gray
Or will it be in black and white
As it takes us along the way

Will we know where it is going
For sure we know where it has been
Vote smartly for the ones who care
To put us on the lighted road again
