Notes About The Poem

the END

Why do the texts keep on coming?
Why does my phone have to chirp?
Don’t they know,
the election is over..
It ended when I cast my vote.

The way the people govern - the way we practice our Collective Sovereignty is our attention to all that good and bad stuff - the vicissitudes (haha) that we then psychologically 'formulate' into that choice. Voting is the effect. America's political status quo is perpetual Revolution ~ always forming a more perfect union.

or sliding backwards. Freeing the slaves, then reconstruction - Obama, then Trump. Two steps forward, one step back - like a pendulum.

Every vote counts, either way. America is cool that way. Thanks for participating in freedom, AV. :o))

Those annoying invitations to rally's and pan-handling for Maga hats. This should've ended, as for me I'm still advocating for my party until the very end...Woman President! Good one Anais

The most clinical and truthful observation I have seen on the election Dr Vionet. You’ve done your bit, (the end) whatever happens now happens, cheers David

Exactly, Dear David - though those who fail to understand the system will never accept that their votes are not the only ones that count.
