My Biography is Coming Soon...

Couldn't decide...

Blog Posted by Nancy Jones: 5/30/2012 9:43:00 PM
Whether to post this as a po or as a blog...

and then I decided.

Namaste~N

On voting and stuff...

I don't like either one of their policies. (Am talkin' Mitt and Barack here).
In fact,
“don't like”
is an understatement.

I don't believe for one second that it makes
too much difference who's the next
president

I'm gonna vote because
when my grandmothers turned 21
they didn't have that right.

I'm gonna vote for the same reason
I refused to let the police search my car even tho
it would have been less time consuming
less stressful and, yes
in the great American tradition...
easier???

Oh, wait!
Lest this wander into negativity
just wanna say that I
DO
believe...

sometimes against all rationality...

that we can change stuff right where we're sittin'
that we can listen
that we can share
that we can learn
that we can confront
that we can trust.

Transform our own selves
transform the world?

I'm in.

I thought I was the Only one. When I was young, I thought I could change the world by myself. Thought of giving our leaders in Washington a hand. I must be getting weaker because now all I can give them is a finger. I might do a write in ballot.
