Best Voting Poems


Voting Day Is Near Acrostic

Voting time is upon us
One time when we can choose who should govern
The time that many wish they could have but it is forbidden
I will be there to cast my ballot; I will not neglect this privilege
Not let Nellie McClung and the 5 down; cannot let their victory be in vain
Go vote, go vote!
Do not shun a day many would die to have
All around the world death is the result of asking for the right to vote
Yes, go vote go vote!
If you do not, change might come for the worse or it won’t come at all
So go vote and insure change happens for the better
Never forget, ladies, we have only had this for not even 100 years
End the belief, oh people of youth, that the young don’t vote
Always remember voting day is a day many have longed for but have not had, and have died trying to get.
Remember to go vote and celebrate Canada by participating in its democracy!

Premium Member The Blind Man

The blind man
walks slowly to the voting polls,
reaches for a lever
and pulls it.
There! Now I’ve voted.
I’m a good citizen.
Leaving, he stumbles
and falls into my arms.
Did you vote today?
No, I’m not blind.

Eu Voting Song

Jolly voting weather 
We are all europhiles
We’re very clever 
And lie to you all the while
You fell for our promise especially the CAST IRON trick
We’re all from Eton, and you lot are all too thick.

If you think I’ll claim back powers, 
You haven’t got a clue
We’ll hand the UK to Merkle, 
There is nothing that you can do 
No referendums Changes through on the nod 
I am the PM and I’m a duplicitous sod

As for immigration
I know it gets on your ****
I will flood the nation 
And pay their benefits
I am from Eton; I am one of the ruling class
If you don’t like it, you can just kiss my ****

If I agreed the Treaty
Things that it would amend
Required referendums
And that would be the end
We’d be out of Europe and that’s what the public crave
But I’m undemocratic, just call me dictator Dave

Clegg is making noises
Pretending he did not know
If he really meant it
Lib-Dems would pack up and go
There all in it together, and David is now all smiles
He has silenced the sceptics, with the aid of the Europhiles

This has been a carve up
Helped by Merkosy
They need our money
That is quite plane to see
They played out the charade so it looks as if Dave’s alone
But were still in the EU and we’ll pay for the Euro zone

Jolly voting weather
We are all Europhiles
We’ve silenced the sceptics
Look at their beaming smiles
There’s no referendum, the sceptics are really thick.
I am from Eton and those idiots missed the trick

To Voting Booth Race

To Voting Booth Race

Why let her experience go to waste
Hillary in Presidency should be placed
Time for woman in White House being
My wife and I have been agreeing
And to voting booth we both raced.

Letter To Kenyan Voter

I quit
I throw my hands down
and sit, sometimes

they called for reconciliation without
 justice
They called for justice without 
truth
Now they ask for prayer without
confession, umpteenth,
it chafes

 Has dishonesty made you inadequate  
to let go the desecration
infringement
negligence
graft
shame of these violations 
which bake violence?

Yet another fifth year
our memo calls us to speak

See how they dance
under a canopy of placards
and a forest of words,
a crescendo of noise,
call for peace without unity
hunger hugs not a belching belly
wretchedness forever at 
enmity with riches

Fellow man, 
the weight been 
long and heavy
Le band's gang led
they have a dance,
You got a date, a dicot
conscience, chagrin
It's about time you made 
love to your country!

Take a big deep
cast your ballot for
broken toe nails
parched throats
unattended sick
the illiterate
the young dead
wrinkled bellies 
and running stomachs

Bow not unto any creed,
tongue, but go forth
eyes closed
and spit into the storm
Puaaah!


What Voting Means

its mean
your or the change  
to stop world pain
mean you stand tall
your that wall
when the weak fall 
your that dream
that's what
VOTING MEANS

It's down to the wire! Don't forget, it goes by population in a State.
You get how it works now--all that matters is Pennsylvania!!!! I'll explain later. Good luck Trumpsteneers! I don't want to float your boats but there is one more thing involved it's called the Electoral Vote...This is what decides...Donald won both electoral and the popular vote. WOW!

Premium Member Power of the Ballot Box

To live with victory won by the sin of cheating,
corruption becomes physically manifest -
unethical, corrupt political leaders might triumph,
and our Constitution and National Security put at risk.

Our legal Absentee Balloting process could be unlawfully 
augmented with millions of “mail-in” ballots
“box-dropped”, harvested, and delivered to political operatives
for conditioning along with rigged machinery - fixing the vote.

Upon hiding or destroying all evidence of planned 
unlawful voter frauds in several key States,
the Cheater’s Manifesto, “There is no evidence”,
would be preposterous.

Lies will have consequences.
Corrupt, lawless politicians 
will live in fear of voter retribution 
and God’s ultimate judgement.

Pray Constitutional law and world peace would survive stolen power.
Pray Election reform and integrity would save us at the given hour.

Premium Member Voting For Spendy or Spender

Most votes went to Spender or Spendy
While few went to Thrifty
Who couldn’t keep pace
And fell out of the race
For he came up lame
Right during the game
But what was his name?
Who cares

Speaking of who cares
About Spendy or Spender
Because either of them
Will go on spending benders
Just to satisfy
Their central bank guy
Whom they can’t deny
And is the reason why
(Though most don’t know why)
They all voted for Spendy or Spender
And could care less about Thrifty
Oh my

(And no, Thrifty is NOT Biden)

Voting
By Franklin Price
6/30/2015

Voting is the best of ways
to say what's on your mind.
If you don't go to the polls,
what you have is what you find.
 
A government elected
not by majority, 
but by the few who turned out, 
sounds like a joke to me;

I can understand the reasons,
why the turnouts are so small,
with the choices we are given,
why go there to vote at all?

We must ask ourselves the questions:
Did I really do my part?
Did I help to choose who's running?
Did I contribute from the start?

Did I hammer up the posters?
Did I spread the word about my choice?
Did I tell anyone that matters?
Did I let them hear my voice?

Did I let the rich choose for me?
Did I put up a decent fight?
There's much more to it than voting,
can be a part, it is your right

Continue to be uninvolved.
Go to the polls or not.
Keep traveling, on the road we're on,
and what you see is what you got.

Premium Member Voting Booth Conversation

My African-American
young adolescent daughter,
since she was age five
needing a therapeutic home and family,
with Oppositional Disorder
and deviantly diverse neural-cognitive communication patterns,
would have voted for Donald Trump if she could.

In large part,
I suspect and fear,
because she is obsessively attracted
to what and whom she knows is bad for her.

Bad medicine.
Toxic sights and sounds and feelings.
Poisons for all sensory receptors,
Mutually oppositional reiterative disorder
perpetually trading barbs of blame and shame,
games she so loves to hate to play,
with tendencies toward bipolar disarray.

Why does she seem to prefer older
straight
blond boys?
Probably because she identifies herself as a younger
brown-skinned
curly-headed
(in several ways and means)
princess-diva-girl.

Anyway,
she helped me vote for our town's Mayor,
and School Board,
and Propositions about borrowing money
to pay it back later 
out of her real-estate and business tax investments.

What she thought would be more interesting investments
for her future,
rather than bridges,
and firetrucks,
and improved highways,
she thought more gardens would be nicer,
and more nutritional in the long run.

As for Mayor,
she told me to vote for "Donald."

Well, honey,
bad news.
None of these candidates is a Donald.

I didn't say Donald
I said vote for Dora.
(Did I mention her speech therapy,
and lack thereof?)

(Did I mention I'm deaf as a post
and old enough to be her Great Gay Grandfather?)
Honey,
I don't think writing in "Dora"
would be a good idea
because she's not one of the choices here.

Well,
just don't vote for Donald Trump again.

Never mind about the  "again,"
as if I ever had,
or would,
But,
what came between you and your love for Donald?

He is against my mental health
and my mental health right
to live in a good community
without fear of automatic
or even not-automatic
gunfire.

You've been reading my blog again
haven't you? 

No!
Why would I read anyone
not smart enough to write in Dora for Mayor?

Association of the Living Dead

Association of the Living Dead Republicans 

In India, several years ago
A man falsely claimed his brother
Was dead so he could inherit the family assets,

The dead brother had to fight 
To be declared legally not dead
And contest the will.

“The Association of the Living Dead” 
Became a movement
Of thousands of people.
For in India apparently,
It was a thing to declare
Your relative is dead.

I never thought 
That the US would have 
To form their own 
“The Association of the Living Dead”
Until this week.

The cyber ninjas 
In their infamous non-forensic audit
In the 2016 Arizona election 
Claimed that hundreds of dead people
Had voted.

They gave their list of the alleged dead voters
To the attorney general
Who contact all 300 dead people
Found that 299 of the 300 were in fact
Not dead and none of them knew
That unnamed political operative
We’re claiming that they were dead.

The one dead voter was alive 
when he voted early.
But died before election day
Thus making his vote not valid
But there was no fraud involved
As he was alive when he voted.

Perhaps they need to form 
The “association of the living dead”
To fight for the right of the non-dead people
To continue to vote and receive other government benefits?

What a sad commentary 
On the farcical nature 
Of contemporary life
In these disunited States of America.

Premium Member Voting In November

Voting in November
By Franklin Price
6/16/2016

Voting in November
Is a very scary thing
Especially for the president 
What will either of them bring?

He is quite outspoken
To the point of stupidness
Due to investigations 
Her position is a mess

To have belief in either
And what they have to say
Could have us regretting voting
And maybe even rue the day

Both have followed process
As they've risen to the top
The parties are quite ignorant
Is there a way to make this stop?

The House and Senate much to blame
Parties would not cross the aisle
Bound by their establishments
Their actions just a pile

For years have gotten nothing done
Standing in the way the choice
Incumbents choosing nothing
And the public has no voice

This is how we've gotten here
Could be headed for the dump
By voting for the Hillary
Or the far outspoken Trump 

Make a choice and hope the best
But don't refuse to poll
Then you have no say at all
Which is the politician's goal

Premium Member Voting With Integrity




If you think whatever anyone says, is true, 
There is something horribly wrong with you.
Grown adults know there are good, and 
also, some twisted folks.
They laugh when an honorable person is
destroyed by despicable, untrue jokes.


In a world of media, the propoganda fools 
the best of our people.
Jokes hide murderous intentions~a brain 
is needed…not a tall steeple!
These “harmless “people, they are actually 
going to the polls to vote?
How dangerous this is~ like going out in the
winter.minus a coat!


Viciousness, a vice, in great abundance,
Hitler and his youth had it to the max!
So 17 million Jews were killed as poeple 
did not know opinion from fact.
A good comedian does not destroy anyone
with smears nor irresponsible lies.
But those who think opinions are facts…
are dangerous people in disguise.
