Notes About The Poem

 

VOTES VERSUS MONEY

(SIX HAIKU REFLECTIONS)

 

Our minority,

Is as poor as poor is:

Theirs are just as rich

 

Don’t beg me money.

Know that my vote is priceless:-

Lives lost getting it:-

 

Thus beg for my vote,

In winning democracy:

Money can’t buy it:-

 

Our minority

Will continue to support

Getting out the vote.

 

Begging for the vote,

Will get more support than the

Begging for money.

 

Our democracy

Can’t  be purchased with money:

Seek votes to win it:-

 

VOTES VERSUS MONEY

VOTES VERSUS MONEY
(SIX HAIKU REFLECTIONS)

Our minority,
Is as poor as poor is:
Theirs are just as rich

Don’t beg me money.
Know that my vote is priceless:-
Lives lost getting it:-

Thus beg for my vote,
In winning democracy:
Money can’t buy it:-

Our minority
Will continue to support
Getting out the vote.

Begging for the vote,
Will get more support than the
Begging for money.

Our democracy
Can’t  be purchased with money:
Seek votes to win it:-
