the aftermath

another election is over

Once hopeful signs now
dot lawns across the city
looking forlorn and lost
as the masses have voted
once again for nothing new.
what's a billion dollars here or there,
they are all crooked anyway,
the status quo is safer,
even if she shredded documents,
at least she knows how to 
run.

Most elections I find we are caught between a rock and a hard place.

You poem speaks to a universal frustration.

"even if she shredded documents,

Thanks so much. Our province just re-elected a govt. that was under investigation and held secret meetings to destroy the evidence.

[Coyote Poetry]

Here in the USA. Ain't no honest leaders either. This is sad. You are welcome.

[Addy]

This speaks so much truth. It's very good.

Love the vivid imagery! Amazing feeling in this rhythmic write

[Lyn Anderson]

Glad you like it. Tried to make it universal, despite its being about the aftermath of our provincial election.

The truth with most elections i'd say...whether on the state level or national. Its mostly a lot of false promises...dirt throwing and money thrown out the window. Lol...great poem KL.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, I wasn't sure about this one. It is specific to our own provincial debacle, but I attempted to universalize it, and apparently I succeeded.
