Premium MemberI Voted Today

Election day is on Tuesday this week
and to the poles I wanted to go.
But I needed the time off,
and my boss told me “no.”
So I went to the poles today
they were open near me,
I cast my vote at the booth
and now I will just wait and see.
America will wait and see.
Now the way I see it,
and maybe others agree,
if things go horribly wrong
I will have the right to sing a sad song.

UGANDAN JUDGE AT ICJ WHO VOTED AGAINST THE LEGAL TEAM OF SOUTH AFRICA

as the Ugandan Judge at ICJ , 
Julia Sebutunda voted against South African legal 
team 's case at ICJ ,
which portrayed the genocidal
actions of Israel troops 
in Gaza. 
The entire Africans astonished 
to be betrayed by one of their daughters
 who failed 
To understand the consequences  
of Apartheid in South Africa 
and Colonisation in entire Africa.
Imagine , 
Only Judge Julia stood to defend genocidal actions 
While others judges approved the demands 
of South African legal team which portrayed 
Humanity.
How do oppressors will respect Africans
when a top Judge like Julia  thinks 
of her stomach than Humanity?
Oh! Judge Julia come back to your senses
as quick as possible.
Remember more than 26.000 people
who already died in Gaza
from October 2023 
to January 2024. 
Humanity 
       And Humanity 
must be the popular lyrics for Palestinians
 in the World.

Premium MemberShoulda Seen It

Got fired for loafing on the job.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
Crossing a street, a car hit me.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
A foul ball hit me on the head.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
My girl fled with a gigolo.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
Got arrested as a tax cheat dolt.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
Went broke buying high, selling low.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
Got bit playing with a Great White.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
Sold hens to pay bills, eggs got high.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
Voted for change but have none left.
         I shoulda seen it comin’. 
Don’t know how to end this poem!
         I shoulda seen it comin’.

Premium MemberOld School Teachers Get Voted Down

We old school teachers got voted down with a shout
We wanted school uniforms to continue you see.
The young teachers know everything, they voted them out.
Misbehaviors are as rampant as they could ever be!

Why can’t they show their belly buttons? A young teacher asked.
I show mine and my lovely bra straps and my thong too.
This leader is open-faced, not incognito in any way or masked.
Insanity is alive in elementary schools in twenty-twenty-two.

Premium MemberAmerica Voted In the Clowns

They are dying in Ukraine, you know...
America voted in the clowns;

Russian bombs falling on Maternity
Hospitals, you know...America voted
in the clowns;

Bernie Sanders and his wife 
taking a second honeymoon
in Russian, perhaps? Seeming nowhere to be found,
America voted in the clowns; 

From leaders of the Democrat Party, whose poor 
policies have indirectly given Putin Money to purchase
his lethal rounds, I hear no remorseful sounds...
American voted in the clowns;

Where are the often, incessant, voices of loudmouth sports figures?
Hollywood Trump Haters, the rabid supporters of Biden, Obama and Clinton? 
Silent as those movies of old, keeping low profile, in their mansion bunkers not so bold...
America makes idols of clowns.

I Voted Against Phil Bredesen Again

On November the 6th, I voted against Phil Bredesen.
Yesterday, I was pleased to learn that he didn't win.
I also voted against Bredesen once before.
Back in 2006, when he was Tennessee's Governor.
This time he was running to be Tennessee's Senator.
I didn't like how he did his job when he was Governor.
Now he's licking his wounds because he didn't win.
Many of Tennessee's residents voted against Bredesen.

I Voted

I voted for poverty.
I voted for crime.
I voted for sickness
I paid on the dime.

I voted for party.
I voted for man.
I voted for promises
left on the fan.

I cried for the rotten.
I cried for the mean.
I cried for the thoughtless
that all made a scene.

I got what I wanted.
I got what's deserved.
I'm shocked by my problems
that come when observed.

Don'T Blame Me, I Voted For Donald Duck

1. there's a time for bacon
    and a time for eggs
    I didn't know the Pope
    shaves his legs

2. there's a time for hippies
    and a time for cops
    did you know Nazis
    are eating our crops?

3. there's a time for day
    and a time for night
    eat a double bacon cheeseburger
    dropped from a great height

4. there's a time for this
    and a time for that
    I didn't know surfing
    would make me fat

5. there's a time for sickness
    and a time for health
    getting likes on Facebook
    increases my wealth

6. there's a time for life
    and a time for death
    just so long as we
    eliminate bad breath

7. there's a time for moon
    and a time for sun
    I drink Donald Duck orange juice
    when the day is done

I Already Voted, Now Leave Me Alone

I already voted
now leave me alone
Stop with the messages
To my telephone
Gather your signs
stabbed in every one’s yard
Give me a break
it can not be that hard
I’m fully aware
of all of your views
I see them each day
when reading the news
Quit all the polling
who cares who I’m for
I know he hates her
but she hates him more
So end these commercials
disrupting my show
I made up my mind
such a long time ago 
All of this banter
I can not condone
I already voted
now leave me alone

Premium MemberGreat Britain's People Voted

Great Britain's People Voted
By Franklin Price
6/24/2016

Great Britain's people voted
To leave the stifling EU
Many in the U.S.A.
Want to see what Trump can do

We're not the only country
Whose citizens are tired
Of having no control ourselves 
As the rich have kept us mired

It's obvious the super rich
Who control all every day
Think working class democracy 
Should never have a say

A big mistake the rich have made
Is to educate the poor
The more we know the more we want
Searching for an open door

When the door remains unopened
And we find what polling's for
We  understand by voting
We may open up that door

Needless to say, we're getting tired
Of selfishness and greed
No loyalty to country
And so many mouths to feed

The poor no longer ignorant
Can bring an educated coup
For the rich to keep some power
They must give a little too.

I Voted Against Phil Bredesen Part 2

If a ninety year old Tennessean buys some cigarettes, he has to show 
identification.
He has to prove that he's not under eighteen and that's stupid intimidation.
Bredesen must think that people will mistake senior citizens to be people who 
are under eighteen.
The law he passed makes all tobacco users show identification and it's the 
stupidest law I've ever seen.
I voted against Phil Bredesen because I'm appalled.
It's a damn shame that he can't be recalled.

I Voted Against Phil Bredesen

Many people voted for Phil Bredesen but I didn't agree with their selection.
I voted against him in last years election.
Some people like him a lot.
But I have to say that I do not.
I wish he wasn't the Governor of Tennessee.
He's passed some laws that infuriates me.
One of these laws restricts all people from buying tobacco unless they show an 
ID.
That law would be great for younger people but it's for people even if they're  
seventy.
It's hard to believe that he'd pass a stupid law like this.
It will be a great day for Tennessee when he leaves office.
