Voting has finally finished for another election
Americans have once again made their selections
As the election results begin to trickle in
People grow anxious to learn who will win
The past weeks have bombarded the airwaves with ads
Some of their messages are so negative and very sad
Our President arouses emotions when he expresses views
It is a sham and a shame to blame Fake News
Democrat or Republican, both sides take blame
At times our world never seems to be the same
Many look back at the past and ask to return
But so much has changed and taken a wrong turn
Any nation is only great when its entire population
Unifies and comes together in ways that bring adoration
Falling asleep in my chair with the television still on
I awaken to see a nation coming together as one
America is the home of the brave and the land of the free
Let us all make our country as proud as it should be
This poem is more of an opinion piece. While I am sometimes frustrated and disappointed in America, I still carry high hopes for this nation to repair its dysfunctions and act as one! Every citizen needs to get out and vote in every election. Each vote is important to preserving democracy in the land of the free. Our Founding Fathers built and designed this nation to last and stay strong. Perhaps we need to capture some of their patriotic and unselfish spirit before we go on.
I always vote!! you are absolutely right too many people like my daughter do not know what is going on to this day 2020 not just 2018

Good for you Pat! I appreciate that you always vote. I do as well. I will be voting absentee, but I will mail the ballot early . . . very early.
