Not Enough and Too Much

My heart is broken

My hope is fled

The future tastes bitter, like the bad air

When did it become acceptable to stand in a public forum

And tell people their principles and choices are ridiculous?

Though I have been a Democrat for much of my life –

Unless I lived in a state where I could register as an Independent –

I will no longer call myself a Democrat.

For many years, I called myself “apolitical”

When I was disillusioned by becoming more and more clear that

I was living in a country whose members of government

Don’t respect its founding document.

In a world in which anything or anyone can be bought

In a country in which the principles of the people are dishonored

The only commodities I have an abundance of are

Doubt, Sadness, Anger, and Bitter Tears.

I will return to the home of my soul and decide if there is

Anything more I can do to change this world in which I find myself.

I will tell you this –

I will stand fast.

I will vote my conscience.

I will vote FOR SOMETHING and not AGAINST SOMETHING.

If you believe this makes me ridiculous – perhaps you are the person with the broken moral compass.

I wish you joy in the world you are choosing.
