Perhaps in the time voters will realise they made a huge cock up!
"Politicians are a lot like diapers. They should be changed frequently, and for the same reasons." Mark Twain . (For some reason bizarre this is my favourite quote ever)

every vote casts matter's
the bar down on 5th, voices clash like dice in a cup,
old men with one eye left open, arms folded, tight,
mutter about what doesn’t matter, what will never matter—
but they walk, stumble, crawl to cast a scratch of ink.
it’s a paper with too much power, too many voices
pressed into the small, heavy hands of the

Go Out There And Vote Early
Remember
In September
Or October
To register
To vote
In November
Write a reminder sticky note
To do so, like your life
Depends on it. Bring your ID
To the polls. Encourage your wife
Encourage your husband. That’s a good idea
Encourage your children. That’s great
Encourage your friends and neighbors
Talk to even strangers
About the importance of voting
For candidates who are decent
For men and women who

LETTER TO VOTERS
Dafinacatensartpieces...instapage
Do you remember their promises
When they made a baraza for pleas
That when you elect them there will be a change
Bribed you wil a small amount as your wage
Its five years now
I hope what im saying you know
They stood on high tables for you
Did you notice their fake smiles as they spoke to you
Hello

Cocksure Donald Trump
Cocksure donald trump
Doubly sure is Donald Trump
That US voters didn’t him dump
And winning figures didn’t voluntarily slump;
For which reason he’s ever taking the hump,
To Americans keep wiring the untouchable truth
Worth protecting in a Limousine’s booth…
Even with inflamed torturing mumps,
No less a throat lining malignant lumps!
And at their stolen mandate
All Americans should jump!
Their noble resilience opening

Zero
Rooster dawned the day: Cock a Doodle Doo;
An orator did tread the ground: “True – True!”.
We crowned him as a hero;
He bid adieu: a zero;
Voters said shoo-shoo; I can't say, “Moo-Moo”.

Voting Day
Today the world is crazy wrong,
Upside down and sideways long.
Political strife in a voting year
Brings about a heightened fear.
Red or Blue the fine line blurs
with Blue and Red casting slurs.
Casting slurs instead of ballots
Masks the issues and wreaks havoc.
What is fair and what is right
Lost within the coming fight.
Who may win and who may lose;
A

League of Ecofeminist Rainbow Conservation Voters
There is this thought,
in Leagues of Voters,
continually arising
from East to West
and South to North
and Left to Right,
That we need to make win/win nice
with our mammalian cousins
on land and sea
or only mean old reptiles
and hungry predative birds and insects
will remain
to design Earth's future cultures
and regenerations.
Others feel this prejudice
for wombs over eggs
and nuts
and seeds
is merely ignorant elitism,
as

Voters, Beware
Many candidates

Voters Remorse
slowly crept the familiar warmth of fetid fallacy
a tidal wave of stealthy lies
oozing its vile variations of truthfulness
immobilizing the wit and wisdom of intelligence
silencing within a dismal darkness
all resistance to its expanding greed
pandering to the pathetic pathos
of crumb collecting collaborators
