The Israeli Election

Another democracy 
where the people get to speak 
has just had an election 
A bitter, bruising battle 
with accusations of 
corruption and cowardice 
have filled the air 
I live in the good old USA 
Where we are also 
gearing up for a bruising battle 
Democracy is messy 
but it is better than totalitarianism 
Who are you supporting - friends out there in the darkness?
Who do you want to win in Israel ??
It matters
Yes, it matters!

Interesting how quickly the Israeli election outcome has faded from the news. The maneuvering is still going on! ~ Gershon
