The Scream

The realization is that both parties want to maintain power at the expense of "we the people". That's why they rarely work together at every turn they undercut the other manipulate "the pay to play' media. Both parties fan the flames of division when it suits their selfish commitments.. They really don't want us to play nice together. Our division is their strength-their platform. Our togetherness is their weakness our calm causes their storm. We don't have to follow their bleating and tumble over the cliffs. We are citizens not sheep. Come November we must remember.. who allowed the rioters to riot and looters to loot and cities to burn Who was joyful when the economy tanked when people lost their 401k. Come November these hard core lessons,, who burned down the churches who painted graffiti on the graves of the fallen who stood aside as you lost your job while they gave themselves hefty raises they tossed you crumbs who wanted to kill all the police dogs because of a few fleas, who deserted the precinct and left thugs to run the streets Come November gather in great numbers Cast a vote... its the only voice you have... No matter the outcome-stay calm accept the results when the people speak. Scream at the sky if you must as if it would make any difference-

Ha, ha! --- 'as if it would make a difference!' Sage write, Anthony. It won't make a dime's worth of difference, will it?! … Every election is always 'so crucial,' to listen to these weasels. Joy and Light, Gershon
