let us copy the example of the horses in this picture;-)


Poem Artwork

 

I didn't vote for Obama,but I'm very proud that our country has  chosen an African/American! Seeing the tears of joy on so many faces of all races when he was elected should make us all happy to be Americans! Can you imagine how elated he and his family feel right now! I can only say God bless and help them!


The horses meet, now the race is over
In the fields while eating  clover
They agree  it's time to put aside
Any enmity, or rudeness that deride

They don't want to be out of sorts
Neighing and making demeaning snorts
So for the sake of all the community
Both winner and loser will promote unity

With equine equanimity,they will race fair
No more looking for ways to poke and scare
The losing Stallion will share his experience
With the winning Colt who has common sense

When the time has come to go separate ways
They take a moment to recall the past days
Just before they say their last goodbye's
They gently nudge each other with teary eyes

The one thing I agree on here,is the example of how Horses behave..
The question remains, as to whether or not they will! However with wild horses, for e.g. the Brumbies of Australia, often another Stallion will move in and steal mares from the mob!!
wELL DONE EILEEN.

A wonderful sentiment, Eileen. Unfortunately, in wild horse bands, I believe stallions capable of challenge are banished from the herd. Except if they are getting too old to challenge again. There are no bad feelings. Both will work to clean up the mess.

ET, you are one of a kind, up the creek without a paddle but you will get up there where the rive's born somehow. Diversity, that's what I love in AD, and the kind response of love from almost everybody.

I truly had thought that a lady with such a deeply liberal poetic tongue as yourself would have voted for Obama, just shows you how, even a genious can err on such matters ha, amazing a republican with good poetry and great taste in artistic appreciation, and all this time I thought you were all religious fanatics, rootem shootem hockey players, out to kill every piece of living thing just for profit. I like your picture of the horses, it's best both sides get a bit closer, for your bigger enemy has already reared it's ugly head, the evil empire, didn't waste any time did it, but I feel Obama has a bit of Reagan in him, he'll show them. In any case, the world has approved of what America has done, you'll probably gathered many more friends in this world, good on you, all of You!

I must agree that it meant something extra special to me and my children to see someone with their coloring be elected as president. It has been a historic election...
