POETRY OF POLITICS

i do not ask you for your vote
nor your love
i ask you to love
i have no crusades
nor chips nor crucifix on shoulder
i have broad shoulders(two)
as you do
Carry your own life!
i do not ask you to change
even when you demand i do
Demands will not produce change
only love works
You can play games
but the rules are simple
Everyone who plays games gets gamed
When you seek to win,you lose
And if you believe votes or belief will save you
You will be voted out by those who do not
You do not need to believe a thing
Poetry is as free as breathing
and when it is caged,or broken
it becomes fragments(just like people
and here is where you come in
Now you write your version(if you wish
Life is where we steal experience
Diversity is...
the difference between
poetry and politics...


YOU BETTER BE HAPPY
Say this is your original moment
(they are not making many more of them
And there is a definite end to breathing
well,then...
