The Ballot Is Stronger Than a Bullet

The ballot is stronger than a "bullet" People pik their voter's cards from their "wallets" They vote for a candidate,they want to "elect" It's the LORD's decision who to "elevate" Unity,oneness,in this country,lets "motivate" Hate speech,let's all "eject" Evil influencies, we people "reject" Between two contenders, we voters "evaluate" The best brains,with "big dreams",good morals", we "select" The bullet kills,the ballot does "seperate" Where we lose, let's conceade, it's never too "late"

Khumbo,Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Khumbo, you bring to light what others so far from your world take for granted. So many of my countrymen don't even vote, though it is our right, though we are blessed to be able to live in a democracy. The world IS in a very bad situation and North Americans are mostly blind to the extreme suffering on other continents. I like the positive theme of your poem. Yes, unity is possible.. Welcome to Soup. Your words are powerful. I hope you post more poetry, here. You can reach many hearts...
