(for those of you who "know" ME this write might not come as too much of a shock...or maybe it will. cynic, cryptic, apolitical, a beliver in nothing... a beliver in everything.
one who seldom reads, never critics, and one who only, only, only ABSORBS.
although i do re-gurgitate rhymes, i also "think" even when i drink. so if in this write i ramble, EXcuse me.

this peom is about our liberty.
me

thank GOD it's over
no more promises of a "4-leaf clover
no more red-rover,red-rover
please come "over"
to my "side"
to "hide"
i don't care "who" you were "behind"
guess now we'll "find"
what's really on the "winner's' mind"

i'm "glad"
there's not 1 more "politcal AD"
sayin' how "good" or "bad"
the thing's are that i've "had"
those really make me "mad"
piss me off a "tad"
then i get "sad"
for what "might-of-been"
if only "when"
i'd voted for "him"
or "her"
one things for "sure"
"thing's" wouldn't be such a "blur"
"thing's' would be "better"
if i'd voted for that "go-getter"

so now it's "said"
so now it's "done"
the vote's been "read"
now comes the "fun"
no longer can "you" just "run"
no longer can you "wait"
no longer can you "hesitate"
time to face your own "fate"
guess it's "never too late"

no matter "who"
you voted "for"
time to "do"
not be a "whore"
time to do "The Chore"
we chose you "for"
time to go "forth"
time to show your "worth"

Thank GOD, we live in a "democracy"
even with it's
"bits"
of "hypocracy"
we each have our own "philosophy"
of how thing's should "be"
our own "tit's"
of "hypocracy"
our "own"
"unknown"
"unshown"
that we suck 'till they're "dry"
until the day we "die'
we all give it our best "try'

"con-session's"
"re-gression's'
'di-gression's"
"de-pression's"
but no "suppresion's'
to speak "of"
none that we know "of"
except those we "make"
or "fake"
or "foresake"
it is a "game"
of give and "take"
we all be the "same"
we all be to "blame"

"republican"
or
"democrate'
we all sit where they "sat"
who take's his "stand"
who know's where it's "at"
who knows "any-way"
what's beyond "today"
no matter what you "say"
"anyway"
(hopefully)
there will "be"
a "tomorrow'
each with a "smile" & it's "sorrow"

so every once in a "while"
as is our "style"
we stop & take "note"
we "vote"
for "tomorrow"
we "borrow"
from past "remedies"
from old "histories"
from old "wanna-be's"
and "used-ta'-be's"
and what we "see's"
and "realities"

"win" or "lose"
we get to "choose"
forget the "boo-hoo's"
(in some "places"
that's not "aces")
they only "re-traces"
old "space's"
"histories"
of what used ta' "be's'"
they never "see's'
the chance to "dance"
to "prance"
to "change"
to re-arrange"
"Real-alities"
of who "we be's"

"America"
the "US" of "A"
we go our own "way"
and we "play"
and we "stay"
we haven't gone "away"
"anyway"...
all the "other's"
"are"
but a faint "star"
only a "re-plica"
of "America"
tho' they be our "sister's & brother's"
we were the "first"
to feel the "thirst"
to drink the "wine"
"the whiskey"
to be so "frisky"
to "risky"
the thought's on our "Mind"

"and so"
every year or "too"
or 3 or "fore"
we "know"
we "do"
the "chore"
we "collect"
we "co-late"
we "select"
we pray it's not too "late"
those who "seem"
those we "deam'
those who "dream"
to be like "us"
and those whom we "cuss"
and we "neglect"
those "who"
never made it "to"
our "bus"
with the "rest"
the "best of us"
those "who"
like "me & "you"
never won the "trust"

but they "had"
"a dream too"
as do "i" & "you"
and that dream was "true "
they gave it "their best"
they passed their own "test"
so screw all "the rest"
don't be a "pest"
let old dog's "lay"
let old dog's "lie"
"yesterday"
you gave it "your best try"

so to those that "won"
"go on"
say what you "mean"
and mean what you "say"
don't "lean"
on where you "lay"
"now's no time to play"
nor to "stay"
maybe "pray"
no "more"
you can't "snore"
don't be a "bore"
you can't "sleep"
"read-em-&-weep"

and to those who "lost"
you paid the "cost"
of whom "You Be"
or maybe
it was "your political party"
who missed "the point"
who was "out-of-joint"
with "me"

"shit"
"just do IT"
what ever "It" "was"
"It" was "because"
you said you "would"
if only you "could"
and we will not forget "IT"
be "it"
"right" or "wrong"
"baby"
it's "still"
"your song"
and "forever it will"
i know "It's" "up-hill"
but you said you had the "skill"
to "navigate"
not to be "frustrate"
not to "hate"
(if only you weren't too late)

remember your "promises'
to all the "doubting thomas's"
remember "November"
come "December"
because "we will"
that's our skill
we expect you
to pay the "bill"
"to do"
what you "would"
if only "you could"
well, "now you can"
so "take your stand"
"lady or man"
"understand"
follow your "plan"

i "ramble"
i "amble"
i "gamble"
each day
what can i say
except
i do not regret
red rover, red rover
please come over...

not one more "political ad"
no more "chances to be had"
no more bein' "mad"
for what i never "had"
or "did"
nor
when i "hid"
no more "...."'s mark
no more "light" or "dark"

Thank GOD It's Over


but is it really "ever"
"over"?????????????????
Red-Rover.
