november word list

Pull the lever?

Killing babies isn't my thing.
Could they stave off any better
if they had been born. I think not
I pulled the lever yesterday
Party said errant moms and dads
Could do that, lobby doctors paid

Boaster, grabs woman by their parts
He likes to tell, locker room talk
Big bomb? Race, sex, religion screen
I pulled his lever yesterday
There's much more vulgar, unpleasant,
rude, bullying, he's always been

I pulled the curtain yesterday
Not taking things lightly, concern
WWJD? *
May God forgive I do it wrong
I pulled yesterday only in mind
Oh, my small island?  Australia

There the topic was Imagined By grapeling, saying, "The challenge: describe your view on this year's US election - how it affects you, how it angers or delights you, how you will be moving to a small island that likely will be consumed by global warming soon, but hey, better blue than orange."
#Fresh Hell
*Notes:
 (1)  WWJD is a popular acronym standing for "What Would Jesus Do".
 (2)  My list of words to use at least three is, "novel, toss, lightly, force, money, God, look, forgive, enemy, annoy, happy, cause, go."  I used 'lightly', 'God', and 'forgive'.
 (3)  I have voted, early.  Of course I could not vote for both as the poem might sugest.  Some of the thoughts above did go through my mind.  I don't tell how I vote.
 (4)  My small island of Australia, I would go back to Sydney.

Tuesday Platform ~~ a poem, "I missed ... "

I missed the party

I missed the party this week
Purple tinge of lavender
'Twas invitation for me
What was I doing, don't know

I missed the fun place this week
They are coming home today
Costumes galore, I was masked
But I didn't come, poor me

I missed the party for sure
'Twas like college days of old
Took the streets, we called them ours
This time, with signs, my voice, quiet

I missed the party this week
Fun filled, messages to tell
We are the majority
Our voices need to be heard

I missed the ... (more still in draft)

This is in relation to and with A BIG THANK YOU, LADIES!!! for their valiant March last Saturday, after our U.S. Presidential Election.  They marched literally all over the world, in large cities and small town.  Perhaps your friends did, some of mine marched.

In that election the majority did not win because of the ancient and antiquated method of running our subsequent Electoral College Election, consisting of 538 electors allocated to our states and territories.  This election is also mandated by the U.S. Constitution and there the majority of the electors voted for another person, who came in second nationwide, as the state elections directed to their electors.
