Shape Of The Nation

Shape Of The Nation

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

An Oval Precaution

"

Shape Of The Nation


News outlets draw the line at racism

Pencil gray, color blind and crayons ready

Fantasies replace triangles, circles and square deals

Pentagons, hexagons, octagons where born to serve

Here today gone tomorrow with the curve

Will never shape up to political correctness

Or move into the oval office in any way shape or form


The people saw dangling chads in Florida

Hanging like spots before their eyes

Circular, uncounted votes remembered

Dots drop like spots before their eyes

May have to be recounted once again this November


News paper lines run up and down with lies

This election season is no less political

Etched like Escher paintings

Stairs go up and down for no reason


There are 2 parallel lines aligned side by side

Redundant on the horizon as simple black stripes

With a vertical one joined at the middle

At the center of attention to form an “H”

For Hilary rising

A female that Mr. "T" calls crooked


Emails can not be erased by media twists

Even with BleachBit

It is a simple precaution though

To roll into the oval office

Author's Note

Earl Schumacker
Is the nation square or round or rectangular? Escher is very interesting. I personally prefer art to politics. Here is a link for your pleasure.
