The world is spinning.
Election Day came and went.
Big Democrat victories in Virginia, in Kentucky (of all places).
Next year, Moscow Mitch better WATCH OUT—
the pouting little turtle man without a shell (or a spine).
He is on the WAY OUT.
But before that happens:
EVERYONE, FALL INTO PARTY LINES.
And listen to the seraphic angels singing.
 
The momentum, it is building—
let us ride the crest of the blue wave and
pray that it does not break prematurely.
 
Beto dropped out.
And so should many of the others—
these obscure candidates nobody wants to truly get behind.
Andrew Yang promised us 1,000 dollars a month.
I would be voting for him if I thought he was truthful.
While running, politicians promise you the world.
Once voted in, their true colors are exposed— their banners unfurled.
 
The dust clears and we fear that we chose
someone other than the silver-tongued politician—
the one so specified upon the ballot.
We are dodging bullets— fired at us in all directions.
Turns out it was a heap of bullshit.
And we’ll be scratching our heads, again.
Despite losses in my city, Spokane
(the Republican TV anchor with no experience
beat the qualified guy for the title of mayor),
we are heading forward— and then?
 
Join in, my friends.
 
We are traipsing through the muck, the mire.
We are desiring A NEW WORLD, a rebirth of America
into something BETTER than GREAT, again.
It will happen as long as we will it—
as long as we continue to pursue our truths, our goals.
We will know redemption and will heed these lessons.
Succumb not to the grip of political depression.
The Republicon leadership wants you to lose hope— to drop out
of society— out of the good fight
when there is clearly light cascading
through the mouth of this long tunnel.
 
Only one more year to go—
until we know what fate has in store.
Do not deny. Do not ignore the signs.
Otherwise we shall never rise.
