L Milton Hankins Poet Political Verse

We Can Make a Difference

A massive malaise is sweeping across the land
People are saying they can’t make a difference
Our so-called leaders have gotten out of hand
Sadly, many voters will certify rank ignorance.
That significant numbers still support Trump
Amazes me. I can’t grasp this conman’s appeal,
For he tried to overthrow the U.S. government
A free and fair national election, he tried to steal.
He’s still going about the country spreading lies
Always tearing down, a serial criminal, I feel.

Folks, we CAN make a difference, I do believe
We can vote for leaders who prize integrity,
We can do everything we can, tensions to relieve
And vote out the scumbags who have no dignity,
Who speak out of both sides of their mouth,
Who say one thing today and another tomorrow
It doesn’t take a lot of homework, just listen…
Make genuine love for our country quid pro quo.
Yes, we can do it! We can do it come November
Let’s make this election one we’ll long remember.

Caren Krutsinger October 17, 2022 at 12:32 AM Why is he not yet wearing his orange jumpsuit? " I can’t grasp this conman’s appeal, For he tried to overthrow the U.S. government" This is unbelievable! And treasonous! L Milton Hankins October 17, 2022 at 8:03 AM It is, indeed, Caren. Something needs to be done about this man. I don't give a rat's behind that he is a former president. He isn't above the law...or is he???

John Lawless October 16, 2022 at 5:34 AM There is an old adage that states: "POLITICIANS ARE LIKE DIAPERS. THEY SHOULD BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON" L Milton Hankins October 16, 2022 at 8:08 AM Oh, I do like that old adage. First time I ever heard it, but I plan to use it often!!!

Tom Cunningham October 15, 2022 at 11:37 PM It's up to each individual to cast their vote, if they're not happy then vote for someone that will make a difference. Tom L Milton Hankins October 16, 2022 at 8:09 AM Oh, yes, I wholeheartedly agree, Tom. November voting is an opportunity to make a real difference in our country. We need to show them we will not put up with Trump and his minions!

Michael Tor October 15, 2022 at 4:41 PM Milton your passion is heard and felt. I put more trust in the American people like yourself then I do with the Politicians that are destroying this great Country of ours. Runfor office Milton. I think you would be a great candidate, really. The only person in power you can trust is yourself. Just a thought my friend... L Milton Hankins October 15, 2022 at 7:59 PM Oh, my, that's very complimentary, Michael. But I'm much much too old for the stamina required to run for office. I do appreciate your confidence, but I'll have to do what I can do from where I am. That'll have to suffice at this point in my life.
