I hate how the words "Lesbian," "Gay," "Bisexual," et cetera Are thought of as bad words. It's like, oh, no, don't teach your little sister the word lesbian Don't tell her there are some girls who like other girls How inappropriate! It's like, oh, no, don't teach your little brother the word gay Don't tell him there are some boys who like other boys How disgusting! Don't let anyone under the age you deem appropriate know That there are people who aren't heterosexual Why? I can't possibly understand why. There is no reason for homophobia, not really. I saw a metaphor somewhere that went something like this: "I was in Subway, and I bought myself a ham sub. As I was paying, the man behind me bought a different sub than me, and I was immediately offended that he got a different sandwich." This is what it sounds like when people say homosexual people affect them. How do they affect you? Just because they don't love someone who is of the opposite *** Or just because they like both Or something else Just because of their ****** preference, no matter what it may be You think that gives you reason to hate them? Really? Just because they're different than the 'normal' you're used to? Normality is relative. You can't say it's not "normal." That is not a justified nor sensical argument. What is wrong with those people? Can't they just see past all their biases and realize that we're all people And we all deserve the same rights no matter who we're attracted to No matter who we kiss No matter who we touch No matter who we have *** with Is it really that difficult? **We're all humans when it comes down to it, and we all deserve the same rights. Everyone should be able to see that.** And you know what I wonder? Why are we voting on whether people deserve rights or not in the first place? And then there's people who act like homosexuality is a disease People who act like anyone who is anything but heterosexual is broken and needs to be fixed They're not broken. They don't need to be fixed. They are who they are, and the government shouldn't tell them what they can and cannot do Based simply and only on who they're attracted to. "You can't get married because you aren't straight." Do you realize how shallow that is? Do you? "You're disgusting because you aren't straight." Why? Why should it matter to you who they're in a relationship with? It's their life, their decision. No one ever asks heterosexual people why they're heterosexual. No one ever says, "Hey, when did you decide you were straight?" It's just ridiculous, and I'm fed up of it. "If gay marriage is legalized, more people will become gay." Oh, yeah, sure, of course, that will totally happen. Just like when African Americans were given rights Everyone decided they wanted to go out and become African American. Just like when women were given rights Everyone decided they wanted to go out and become female. People of all sorts of sexualities and preferences have grown up With mostly straight media everywhere It didn't "turn" them straight. So gay media won't "turn" anyone gay It won't hurt anyone if there's a gay couple in a commercial. Or a TV show. Or any other form of media. It makes me sick to think that just because of your personal opinion My friends who are not heterosexual would not be allowed to get married To the person that they love. Do you know what will happen if gay marriage is legalized? Gay people will get married. Why can't you just understand that it doesn't matter? Why should you care what they do? Why should you care who they like? It doesn't affect you. It doesn't change you. It's just giving LGBT people more control over their own lives. It's just giving LGBT people rights they should have had in the first place. Why?

Spy on this not because I'm a deviant "ist" of some dangerous ideology No, I cannot hold on to anything so strong What a scary time for those alive whose key logs match that terribleness just a little bit "Oh, but she was so non-violent" No, it's media martyr silence Freedom of speech? See how careful I am - just typing? But for most the danger is in all our numbers Algorithms for shopping patterns voting and religion too We give our attachments to them freely so I say "hello there," maybe lone computer or programmer soulless, or believing Brother's benevolence -Not here for the poetry

The Date being November 8, 2016 Multitudes into the voting booth Strides will be made in voting from our youth Presidency and Senate all part of the race The voting dialog will be an overwhelming pace But the quest being, “Please All Vote” This is not a joke Our lives matter in this election It requires all to vote being participation Vote for whom ever you chose But don’t get discouraged and just refuse Don’t let anyone question you in why do you vote? Just tell them you are exercising your rights being your own words being spoken Don’t worry about being poked America’s future becomes actions on tomorrow The White House already has policies in place But the new President and Senate can change and rearrange the space Vote with all your heart This election needs to make a strong mark Vote for a President and Senate that offers hope Let it be living and able to cope Vote now and show Washington WOW.

All is NOT well in the grasslands. The animals are fit to be tied. The actions of the crafty wolves Have left the rest of them horrified. "How will we EVER be able To keep democracy afloat," The antelope asked, "if the wolves Don't allow us all to vote? "In many sections of these grasslands, Shameless wolves are doing their best To hold voter registration Hostage, keeping voters suppressed." "They aim to control voter turnout," The deer added. "That's their hope. Their sneaky ways to manipulate Elections push the envelope! “They stall and seek petty reasons To take names off voting lists. Fair and honest elections are In jeopardy if this persists.” "It's so close to election day, Our courts are reluctant to raise objections," The buffalo said. "Some of the wolves Are even running in the elections! "Humph! They stole a Supreme Court justice. Then they rammed another one through. Now they're still suppressing voters. What more damage will they do?" "Winnowing down voter rolls! Their strategies should be illegal!" The fox chimed in. Looking around, He asked, "Where is our dear friend Eagle?" The absent eagle wanted no Responsibility tied to her name. She couldn't stop the out-of-control Wolves, and hid her head in shame. -by Bob B (10-19-18)

Democracy in Crisis
By: Cedric McClester To achieve your ambition Stop hoping and wishing Voting is a mission It’s like going fishing No fish will you find If you don’t cast your line So drop your remote And go out and vote Your candidate Might not win the debate But let me clearly state If you don’t participate Then you abdicate By not voting your choice You lose your voice And can never rejoice Democracy demands Having all hands Both critics and fans Despite their brands Being involved To get their problems solved Things tend to revolve So we’ll be absolved Voting is a right We could lose over night Unless we unite Stop being uptight And stay engage in the fight For which people died Payed in blood or their hide To not be denied Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2018.

VOTING IS A MISSION
**I urge that we make ourselves proud… of us I urge that we go into and come out of these polls sober minded, responsible, uncorrupted, without ‘fight’ or ‘fuss’ Uncorrupted I urge that a joyous feeling of an evolving nation moving forward be the only thing we can, in hindsight, say erupted… this upcoming Monday, the following Tuesday I would like to state that a people gunning for peace in these coming days is the only topic I would like to be following in the news today We should see what’s coming as the change of guard it is… and not as a dreaded doomsday You may be black… I may be white, or vice versa… and that’s alright We shouldn't even be asking ourselves “Who’s grey?” I will vote with one heart for one country… my country A country in which I’m confident can keep the peace, you see, we’re kind of good at this I know this because we've had quite a bit of practice I know this because deep down we all want to make peaceful transitions be the Kenyan way I know, I hope… and whenever necessary, I pray Happy voting.**

Happy voting... {Poetry For Peace-Kenya}
Vote for him or vote for her, Vote for anyone you like, Use your vote don't lose your vote, If you believe in all the hype, The hype that's being pumped out, By politicians by the score, Posting posters and pamphlets, On your window and through your door, They're all after your vote, A vote to get them a job, Some are career politicians, Some are just there to rob, When the voting's over, And their seats have been retained, They just ignore the public, Till it starts all over again.

I feel lost at times, Like I'm losing my mind Everybody else letting loose, **** dropping, pill popping 'Booty' on pelvis grinds Joint sharing, sniffing ******* lines Unemployed but still no one has time Everyone is commited, But nobody knows why. I feel lost because The education system taught us Mathematics, English And a bunch of other stuff But not how to apply for a job Behave in an interview or Maintain and mindset That actually gives a **** How our voting system works, Whether we elect our leaders Or if the system is really corrupt So was it enough?

Losing Education
I wove my own web and netted my prize, I cold-pressed my words and refined my disguise. I goggled at life and faced up to that book, I tumbled and tweeted and baited my hook. I blipped and I blogged, I bantered and blushed, I followed and friended, I grovelled and gushed. I doled out the instant, ten grams at a time, To fuel my addiction for caffeine and rhyme. I reshopped my pic, I swiped left, I swiped right, I pinned and I posted deep into the night. I gloated and gossiped, I chatted and cheered, I logged in and logged out without favour or fear. For is it not fun - this mad media storm? Viewing and voting from dusk until dawn. Yet love me or like me, let it never be said, That despite how it seems, it’s gone to my head.

I'm No born free I tasted the dust of apartheid My mother was hiding behind the trees screaming for help No one was there No time to sleep We were cursed for struggle My father never smiled when my mother would say "the baby is kicking" Cause he knew,it wasn't the kick of joy It wasn't a sign of being a soccer star It was the struggle! 1990 Mandela was out of prison 1993 I was born 1994 the Dom's were free No more Dom-pass,but not uhuru still Innocent souls were lost What was the fighting worth for? I can forgive but never forget When De klert called black fools He said they do nothing but barking We turned to dogs now This is for Steve Biko Chris Hani Hector Paterson Raymond mhlaba Let not my skin define who I am Let not the earth describe me I know my future because of my history I was raised in a town of fallen angels Where blacks were deceived Whites felt free Turn the lights off we all the same colour Don't turn them on I want my son to know the history But to not repeat it. They say follow your leader How can you follow corruption? Zuma this zuma that Its all illusion I'll only follow u twitter I want you to retweet all the ish I'll be posting about you,the Raping,The Nkandla part,The Cheating,The Art and the bunch of wives Yes I voted,I still don't know why I voted Helen Zille only speaks xhosa in time of elections Jacob Zuma gives free taxis only to the voting station Julius Malema will bring apartheid back it is said on radio stations Mandela spent most time in hospital All of a sudden his dead Was he even in jail before?

The Voting
We are told that Nothing trumps Trump's Misogyny but truth will out When his sexist shtick is a Gift that keeps giving for His Republican rivals, Whose Lips are sealed, but by Their deeds their hands are unclean. We know that Bush did not beat about the bush When he said of women on welfare that “They should Be able to get their life Together and find a husband" We know that Walker repealed Wisconsin's only Equal pay law and supported anti-choice Invasive intrusion of a woman's right To choose. We know that Mike H Has mused that he thinks women Who cannot control their “Libido" Should not “curse” and Jay Z is really A **** seems to be exploiting Beyoncé. We know that Rubio opposed re-authorizing the Violence against Women Act, even though he knew What it meant when he opposed the Paycheck Fairness Act. We know Rand P was rightly Republican in similarly Voting against the Paycheck Act, and in his college secret Society promoted Anita B's views that oral *** was a sin. Perhaps they all need to look in the mirror and adhere to The Biblical adage that "He who is without sin should Cast the first stone" But what is sin anyway?

Please do not Leave Facebook, my friend, These storms will soon subside. ReMOANERS will get used to “Britain Out”. They’ll grow tired of making you feel A ***** For voting to jump the sinking Euro ship. Don’t leave Facebook For Google will crash, Bebo and Myspace will return And the BitPound will plummet. Latin will become the default internet language As hackers rule the web. Be afraid, very afraid. The consequences of Leaving would be dire. But if you Stay here In the ***** of the Facebook Family You will be safe and secure And eligible to claim Your complimentary cuddly toy. Paul Butters © PB 25\6\2016.

Trump STILL can't stand the thought That Clinton won the popular vote. In efforts to cause a major distraction, He's keeping the voting fraud rumor afloat. Clinton received two point eight Million more votes than he-- Votes from voters physically present Or votes from those voting absentee. He says that he has evidence Of widespread fraud. We can surmise That he has his "alternative facts"-- A handy euphemism for lies. It's a preposterous, baseless claim, A mere BELIEF that he maintains, Another false conspiracy theory, An insult to people who use their brains. Voting fraud is an issue That Trump loves to keep in his sights. For him it's a very useful excuse To go after voting rights. If there was so much voting fraud, The chances of which are very slim, Does Trump ever wonder how many Fraudulent votes went to him? The more he whines, the more he harps-- He's even driving Republicans mad!-- The more he loses the smattering Of credibility that he once had. - by Bob B (1-24-17)

This is america. It's a one of a kind. You can buy **** at the store. You can bide your time. Voting red or blue. Is a favorite pastime. Doesn't really matter which side you choose. Like it doesn't matter if a poem will rhyme. Hell you could write freestyle poetry about nothing and that's accepted. Cuz this is america and you're free to be an idiot. Inspected. Suspected. Slot machines and credit cards Stop lights and go-go bars Social security and national debt Red white and blue baby We're the best! Patriots of olde and punks of New. World Order abound The olde ways are through! By and by Time after time Woe are to those With woman and child. Times is tuff says the country station but be the 5th caller to win this Ozark vacation. Skoal and Miller High Life 40s. Marlboro Reds, rap music and shorties. Sorry shawties but midgets are better. What's more profound than talkin bout the weather? I forgot the original point that I wanted to share with ya but **** it, you know what I mean? This is america.

We’re really gonna need some sunglasses for this one, have you ever seen the magnificence of an Atom Bomb, a mushroom clouds of the most beautiful hues, a moment of infinite Light just before the moment we’re all eternally gone… ∆ Aaron LA Lux ∆**

Tax the poor and reward the rich This line should be reversed But, the politicians always use this line It's a line they have rehearsed As soon as they are voted in They give themselves a raise When we question what they did this for They just sit there in a daze They use all sorts of doublespeak To tell us all their reasons For taxing poor and elderly The rich are out of season A few cents here, a nickel there No one will notice that While our old folks sit at home Sharing tinned food with their cat Tax the poor and reward the rich This line should be reversed But, the politicians always use this line It's a line they have rehearsed As soon as they are voted in They give themselves a raise When we question what they did this for They just sit there in a daze The veterans they are targets too Their pensions get rolled back They hit those who can't defend themselves Or are too poor to fight back They give out tax cuts to the rich Big business gets the most While our working poor are stuck at home Finding new ways to serve toast They sell our jobs and tax our lives Until we're better dead But then we can't afford to die We've no place to lay our head They sit in ivory towers Looking down on those below Wondering how to get more money in How to make their pockets grow The parties not in power Try their best to make a change But to do that, we need lots of help Parliament must rearrange The way the parties govern The way they ***** the meek There must be changes at the top To help strengthen the weak There's people on the system Who worked hard and did their part Now they can't afford an apple Let alone the apple cart Tax the poor and reward the rich This line should be reversed But, the politicians always use this line It's a line they have rehearsed As soon as they are voted in They give themselves a raise When we question what they did this for They just sit there in a daze So, at the next election Don't just vote because you should Go and vote for something different Go and vote for something good Because your parents vote one colour And you choose to do that too Is not a true democracy You've a choice in what to do If you're voting for the first time Think real hard before you pick All their promises look tasty Until you give them a good lick Remember how your grandpa Said "It was much better when" "We were treated fair and equally" And it can be done again So if Tax the poor and reward the rich Is the motto that you choose I hope that you'll rememer this When you can't afford new shoes The time to change what's wrong is now Start giving money back To those who can't afford to lose The one's who fall between the crack So tax the rich, reward the poor Take the tax cuts all away And make our seniors equal Don't make them be the ones that pay.

They line up in droves at the voting booth  ignorantly choosing between two candidates on the same side of the same fence  They just use a different lexicon for offense and defense  we are ******* either way you choose pull that level  push that button  tab that chad  The popular vote to be ignored by the electoral few and cash lined pockets of politicians How much longer can we afford to play this game?

The Voting Game
I think that Jimmy Carter A true and noble man Should monitor the voting Check on ballots being scanned Watch over our elections The suppression of our votes Long lines, few polling places Jimmy Carter, that’s no joke! I pray that Jimmy Carter will Monitor our elections I trust he’ll keep them honest while We’re making our selections When there is no paper trail And lines 5 hours long Votings not for weak or frail Be Jimmy Carter strong! The man can still build houses Even though he’s 91 Please watch those ballot boxes Or Democracy is done!

Jimmy Carter, Please Monitor the Voting
I'm  a bit like Brett I like my beer,  Senator Feinstein, Ha. Your name has stein in it, thats  like a beer mug, i dont have blackouts from beer drinking. It's the lack of that makes me forget. I don't remember much of this morning. Went to work got some **** done, I Don't think I molested any women, But it's all foggy. I remember going into DG after work. They got 15 packs for 6.95. Cept I vaguely recall creeping out. They were Out. Until i found three of them white boxes with red and blue lettering an A With wings insignia I'd  tucked in A corner of the store behind cases of Heinekens, out of my league drink, For just this situation. ******* patriotic Almost. I think it's doing my part to support this free-market capitalistic Economy. Like paying taxes. Better than voting. So you all can impune Kavanaughs Character all you want. I like beer so do he. So. Back to me. I couldn't wait for one. I'd put six in the freezer. And it had been ten minutes. I drank it lukewarm. And my memory came back. The fog cleared. Oh yeah, his problem Isn't that he loves beer Like I  do, it's that he was a punk upper class white dude who Pushed around young girls, laughed while he felt them up, Thought he was entitled to. That's over the line, even for Republicans. You are not like my justice. I am a justice of peace and integrity. Go drink beer, BRETT, JUST NOT ON THE SUPREME COURT.

I like beer, too
Take one step forward And two steps back. Be sure you are following The corporate track. Pay out your earnings Never give a **** Now you are doing The Uncle Sam Scam. Bend right over and Touch your own toes. The politicians mostly can’t And that’s how it goes. They get their money And big raises too. Just like the CEOs But none for you. Take one step forward And two steps back. Be sure you are following The corporate track. Pay out your earnings Never give a **** Now you are doing The Uncle Sam Scam. Social Security funds Came in mighty handy When Georgie wanted war And it was a dandy. It made money for His favorite buddies And made our country’s rep Murderously muddy. Take one step forward And two steps back. Be sure you are following The corporate track. Pay out your earnings Never give a **** Now you are doing The Uncle Sam Scam. If you think more of CEOs And big money corporations Than you do of the people Suffering in our nation And you keep voting for jerks And overrated hams You are becoming champions Of the Uncle Sam Scam.
