Before you cast your vote, remember what will you say as an excuse, explanation, alibi, for have open the gates to Pandora...and what you wish your children and mine to inherit.
Then...you will be excused because you had no choices, generations of complacencecy left the field open to the greedy and the liars.
In the moment of casting your vote, think...what if...
Tell your sons tomorrow when they ask
why you left their inheritance to be
in the hands of many incompetent men
with the only purpose in life to serve greed.
Tell your daughters afterward when they ask
if you thought well the choices that you did,
because their children, your grandchildren,
are getting no bright future but only grief.
Tell our soldiers going to unspeakable war, why
electing a demented for their Commander in Chief,
making a mockery of the Stars and Stripes
for another thirty pieces of silver of treachery.
Tell the infirm that can’t afford the medicines
why in a land of plentiful he’s getting weak,
because investors demand more and more money
the poor getting poorer and the rich filthy rich.
Tell the Veterans to make soup from their ribbons
they have plenty of those to make a feast meal,
and if they were so lucky as to return alive
tell them they are lucky they only lost their limbs.
Tell your hard working fellow Americans why
you voted when hunger make your ends to not meet,
tell your self now, today, because you have time,
because tomorrow will be too late to say, “what if…”
...in truth...your words have a strong voice...one can only hope the country as a whole does not come down with laryngitis.
excellent thoughts honestly penned Georg...

Tell it like it is brother ... we do need a political revolution in this country, and soon. As it is now Edvard - our childrens futures are bleak indeed, if they have one at all. And another thing, for the first time in my life, this morning, I paid over four dollars for a gallon of gasoline.
generations of complacencecy left the field open to the greedy and the liars ... your poem supports this thought, and it scares the daylights out of me. What will become of us and furture generations, if the rich are getting richer and the poor, poorer? Maybe we need to find a new island and profit from our mistakes.
An informed and motivated citizenry will always do the right thing.
The so called free press has been usurped by the greedy barons, who write well informed paplum, to feed the common masses, if they had done their job properly after nine eleven... a motivated public comes from being informed properly to get engaged.... One of your famous presidents said that freedom has to be fought for everyday, would he have imagined it be in his own country, now Irag or anywhere else.... I only know one thing, if America goes down the drain so will the rest of the world, so please take your country back while there is still time, make it what it once was, please! God Bless you Georg for highlighting this delimma it is most needed.

Very powerful pen,stay safe and well dear man...HUgsss
Well done Georg! You have the courage to bring up many fine points and I can only pray that many will stop, take a few minutes and think it all through. Our future, our children's future, our grandchildren's future and many generations to come are at stake....
George,
"Tell the Veterans to make soup from their ribbons
they have plenty of those to make a feast meal,
and if they were so lucky as to return alive
tell them they are lucky they only lost their limbs."
This Is A Horrid Injustice.
Your Poetic Words Are Powerful & Truth.

We made this mistake 8 and 4 years ago electing someone with an agenda, not with a caring of the U.S. people-needs. Can we afford another "sweet-sayer" for our nation?
"What if..." Wise thoughts and words, Georg.
If it sounds too good to be true...it ain't!!
It's not a time for sweet, fantasy dreams...we need realities and knowledge.

George its truly Heartbreaking I had never been
So worried as I am this time

Affect the nation the world!!
Chose wisely and God help us !!
Peace Love and Hugssss..Morning Star
Say it, say it, say it. As always Georg you are on point and why not be. In gratitude forever for caring and sharing this shout for too many in a deaf world. You are inspiring me to become a loud mouth once more. Mikii

Touching the dimensions of truth with the tongue of this powerful poem. Thanks dear George, live not just for the sake of living but live to say the truth in this colorful way. An admiration and a pleasure to read you.

This will be the election that decides the future of the USA as a proud Nation or one that will sink into the abyss of a second rate Country. Better really understand the issues each candidate proposes and vote on them and not by race or gender.
Very powerful but truthful piece. If we fight hard for the legacy we leave then no one can deny us our moment and our right. I find as I go through life those who don't care usually take one step backward when what really matters is on the line. Living by your heart and gut will never stere you wrong. Peace, Love and God's Blessings Always, Paul.
These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
