It Matters
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

The election is over

It was a surprise to many.

As in all games of chance,

The winner takes all.

 

I missed voting this year

The first time in my voting life.

I can't say it mattered as

All my candidates won.

 

Yet it did matter to me.

It's a liberty we can't take lightly.

Who we elect in office

Is what makes this Country free.

sounds like combatant regulations which are very close to the truth, saying, 'as you sow you shall mow.' Hurrah, George. Let's go over the top and get what is ours by right! Cheers, alex

I would like to see popular vote rather than electoral college determine all outcomes.

King George,

A hearty Amen!

For your wisdom and well-written "Op-Ed" (I miss doing those with you!)

For your service and devotion to our Country.

THANK YOU, LORD.. THANK YOU, LORD...THANK YOU, LORD!

PS> I'm happy for Ed and I strongly agree with what Ron said!

Love & Hugs,

Rhonda

I voted for the first time in 37 years, apparently a change in a law permitted me to do so & I too voted for the right person or so I would like to think...-e-

More importantly, that we have an opportunity to replace them every few years before they let the power they have go to their heads.
