Truth's Voice

Up in smoke,
     not a joke
you believe this
I believe that
  doesn't matter unless you search for fact,
  if you are republican or democrat,
  still neither Biden nor Trump aristocrat;
seek the truth, the how, the why
 uphold the truth, discard the lie
 hold the flag and constitution high
 don't let democracy die;
if you disregard my vote
  while the truth is choked
  only hate and anger is evoked,
  no matter if you're black or white
don't let this be
  America's dark night.

Black & White in America dissolves to resolve into ___ Green. Oligarchy is the power-form that threatens the commonweal. They no longer hear and respond because Democracy is now a commodity. ~ He who has the gold, rules. Time again for the blood of patriots and tyrants to water the tree of Liberty - see Jefferson

Here, here! If these politicos and their followers spent as much time actually working on this nation's problems as they do whining about and contesting elections (for years!), we'd all be a lot better off. (I can dream, can't I? I don't think there are any mandates against Hope yet, are there?) ~ Smiles, Gershon

well said ... i fear our democracy is in a state of decay and revival is tenuous.
