Discombobulated And Flabbergasted During The Political Season Poem by Hebert Logerie

Sometimes, I wonder if that's a nightmare,
Or a bad dream, so many decent people dare,
Or have the nerves to vote for a sexist, an aggressor,
A crooked racist or an admitted sexual predator.
In good conscience, if so many of you don't have
A sister, at least you have a mother. Stupidly brave
Is not an option. Criminals cannot vote in any election,
However, a sex offender can run for the highest office
Of the land. This is shameful. This is an abomination.
No wonder, this society is so lop-sided, and full of malice.
I fully understand that everybody makes mistakes,
And that nobody is perfect, however the nuclear button
Needs to be pushed once to annihilate our civilization.
This is not like turning on the microwave to cook fries and steaks.
In November, please vote responsibly with an educated mind,
Decently with a clear and honest conscience. We have one mother:
Vote for Mom. Many fellow Americans must stop being blind,
Incorrect, narrow-minded, and sot like an ill-advised woodpecker.
Please vote for a mother, who works hard and intelligently like an ant.
We are infallible and corruptible, but being criminal is a serious matter.
Please vote for a mother, who really cares, for President.
Please do NOT vote for a bragger, a bully or an "admitted sexual aggressor".
In November, please vote for a better future. Let's make America
Greater, stronger, and let's work together to end this long saga.
