(After Trump Won the Election)
America. What's happened?
To your dream
Founding Fathers Charter
Open for Opportunity
Inviting and Enticing
Anybody to Somebody
Inclusive not Exclusive
Invitation versus Intimidation
One for All
All for One
America. When Did?
Tolerance become Intolerance
Moral turn Immoral
Ambition go Blind
Partisan trump Purpose
Greed gorged Greatness
Richer bury Poorer
Fair went Factious
Leaders became Lechers
Reckless and Careless
Narcissistic. Absorbed. Entitled.
Deeply dividing society
with Myopic views.
Civil law has
lost its civility.
Rekindle your democracy
before your torch
starves of air.
Bury this election.
Shed the skins
of the Reptiles
scurrying for votes.
Rabid. Ridiculous. Rhetoric.
Slinging and spitting
spewing toxic mud.
Vile character assignations.
Groping, Grasping, Grovelling
Erase your stain
that stinks Democracy
Find a Leader
Bridge the Divide.
Rally the people
refute the establishment.
Lead a new March
360 Million Strong.
To reclaim, claim
'We the People,
for the People'.
What right does a Canadian have to comment on your election? I think the world is better off with a strong and fair America. Thanks for reading, commenting and sharing.

8yWhat would you say to a registered and licensed taxi driver in a large city who refuses to give you a ride just because you look like Charles Manson? I believe there is a law against such a behaviour

8yAs a Canadian who came to this great country legally some 24 years ago, the country today is very different from what we came to in 1992. My two sons who are dual citizens are set to vote (my youngest for his first time) in what may be the most important election this great country has faced in our collective lifetime. I have my thoughts and hopes but having grown up in a media household will keep these to myself. For the sake of all and especially the youth, I trust that we will get this right come Tuesday!
