Polarized and politicized
for the first time in years
I have found my candidate. –
I voted for Billy,
through my parents,
then for Gore
and Kerry
looking to stop the fascism
that used to be a party of
Republicans. –
Then came the B-Rock star
who I voted for twice,
but more from a fan stand
than an actual political disposition;
life-long party man
with a new face of America
in a house
racist by his presence.
But policy, generally,
remained the same
and my distain
remained. –
Today I watched Senator Sanders
give a speech to thousands
in Wisconsin
youtube saves the day,
and my political life
as I have found my candidate…
and unlike Ron Paul,
I feel this movement
could be a revolution
of ideas
and I will be a part of it. –
It has been so many years
since I waved a propaganda flag
that I didn’t write myself,
it makes me happy,
to take a break
and let a professional
rabble-rouser
do his thing. –
