Voting Day

Today the world is crazy wrong, Upside down and sideways long. Political strife in a voting year Brings about a heightened fear. Red or Blue the fine line blurs with Blue and Red casting slurs. Casting slurs instead of ballots Masks the issues and wreaks havoc. What is fair and what is right Lost within the coming fight. Who may win and who may lose; A ballot cast makes the news. Media headlines of this morning Change with afternoon reporting. Opinions here, opinions there; Think for yourself, taking care. Tomorrow promises more of the same. Let’s not continue as if insane. Three more months till voting day. Please cast your vote, have your say.

In view of the IOWA caucuses today and who is running, your poem has increased meaning and relevance. Judging from your comments, you have an understanding of constitutional government. We should all work to keep it strong! TY for this Linda.

Wow. You are welcome, and thank you for reading some of my earlier poems. Our system may not be great, but I believe it to be a far better system than others. If we can just keep politicians from rewriting it to further their own agenda(s), as they have rewritten history... :)

You've taken the insanity's pulse very nicely, 'Linda. Let's vote and see how this plays out. Personally, I wouldn't be shocked to see Trump win again. The Dems' message is so relentlessly negative that their current momentum may just wither away and hand Trump another 'shockeroo.' Anyway, the key to the future is really who wins the Senate. Even Biden can't do what he wants if the Senate stays majority Republican... It'll be interesting, alright... :) gw

Oh, and the Senate is a tough one for nearly any president. Thats why our system is one of checks and balances. It works more often than not.

So true about the voting-people need to vote or not complain about the lot cast. And I agree with you about another 4 years with Trump. Far too much negativity in the world as it is. It is much easier for me to understand (I think) a businessman's mind than a politician's. ;)
