Premium Member Debate Nonsense -- Epigram

Debaters may boast who talks the most, but the most votes, ladies and gents,
are won with the most common sense, and a dollop of dollars and cents.

On Wages and Wars Without Votes

A donation of currency given
Removed democracy
Behind the lamb
All were without food

A parable in time?

Outside of Copernicus and Erwin Schrödinger
Evasion equation removed a sound mind


Proof of antitrust in
The contrapositive

Being Borrowed by Sasha for film

Premium Member Hope

I’ve felt the stir of resolution
to throw off careless greed.

I’ve heard the soothing voice of reason,
long thought to be extinct.

So pound your plowshares into words,
turn your anger into votes.

Let’s march together towards sanity,
reclaiming fragile future’s hope.

Stone Votes

Why? What evil have they done?
Who would harm daughter or son?

As a nation we blindly and carelessly vote
for those who throw them from life’s boat.

But Christ, didn’t you say “Let the little children come to Me.”?
What is it even your supposed followers can’t see?

Your babies in the womb are afraid, condemned and alone.
Ask your Christians Jesus, “Who will cast the first stone?”

Let the Votes Speak

Let ballots rise like morning light,
Not shadows cast in silent night.
Let every voice be freely heard,
Each promise kept, each counted word.

No fear, no force, no hidden hand,
Should twist the will across the land.
For power gained through honest choice
Gives hope its strength, gives peace its voice.

When votes are true and justice stands,
The nation rests in trusted hands.
For freedom lives where fairness reigns—
And democracy its soul retains.

Premium Member VOTES VERSUS MONEY

VOTES VERSUS MONEY
(SIX HAIKU REFLECTIONS)

Our minority,
Is as poor as poor is:
Theirs are just as rich

Don’t beg me money.
Know that my vote is priceless:-
Lives lost getting it:-

Thus beg for my vote,
In winning democracy:
Money can’t buy it:-

Our minority
Will continue to support
Getting out the vote.

Begging for the vote,
Will get more support than the
Begging for money.

Our democracy
Can’t  be purchased with money:
Seek votes to win it:-
