What We Must Do

I have heard it said
that poetry will outlast all the politicians
Well  - this is one poet who follows the political scene
There have been politicians who wrote poems 
Abraham Lincoln and Eugene McCarthy come to mind
I think poetry can change one's thinking 
if you let it into your soul
The poetry in the Jewish prayer book 
and the poetry of Bob Dylan 
have influenced my thiniking
I will vote this September 
Isn't that what they died for?

It's good of you to vote anyway. I never can see the sense in it any more though I have been doing it. Until hell freezes over, Utah won't vote anything but Republican. I enjoyed this, Matt
