If doctrine and dogma
held a conference with reality 
and an agreement was reached  
on a common philosophy and set of tenants
Would that be a paradox or paradigm shift?...

Tomorrow is Election Day
    Hurray!
  No more attack ads
  An end to hyperbolae
    and unproven accusations...

  Elect some new ones
  Two years later ~
  They'll all beat the same drums...

A tranquilizer gun for my birthday please.
The color doesn’t matter.
A sharp point please.

I will teach the neighbors
To get out of my way.
They vote all wrong
On election day

I’m usually not violent 
But here’s the thing
I know what’s right.
I am the king....

Today is voting day, I must make it a goal
            I'd rather take up residence at the north pole
                             All the cat fighting 
                              And name calling
         To be honest ,I don't want neither one in control

election day blues
annoying voting machine
candidates unknown

unfamiliar names
did not do due diligence
angry at myself

voted for some names
did not know their competence
feel bad about this

resolve to learn more
candidate information
be better informed

There was a time a president
Was someone we'd revere,
But now we live in what I'd call
A different atmosphere.

We have to choose between a woman
People just don't trust
And someone else whose attitude
Fills folks with pure disgust.

The lesser evil surely seems
Quite obvious to me.
I guess that this Election Day
We'll see if most agree....

Buzz kills ounce stormed across
open beaches.

Citizen police engaged, shamed,
raged against the sight
of mask-less merry-makers.

Now the lock-downs are over
we gather to celebrate
but here again comes the hate.

Just wait
they will steal your freedoms once more.
The 'Karen's' are gathering,
we will all be germ-jailed again
come election day....

I’m tired of reading articles
About Election Day.
There’s nothing new that anybody 
In the world can say.

Opinions, mostly set in stone,
Are not about to budge
And hopefully, November 5th,
Our ballots get to judge.

I can’t wait ‘til it’s over,
Though I’m trying hard to hope
That whichever way the wind blows,
Those who lose will somehow cope.

It was one giant leap when we landed on the moon.
It will be one giant leap for black people soon.
Over the years black people have come a long way.
They'll come even farther when Obama becomes President on inauguration day.
It was wonderful when Barack Obama won on election day.
It will be one giant leap for black people when he becomes President of the USA....

Eligibility established
Longing for public service
Electioneering
Closing arguments
Turning out the vote
Initiating change
Opening the polls
Never acting tired and worn-out

Drive to the polling place
Awaiting in line to vote
Yes! Civic duty discharged
