I’m fascinated by the lack
Of knowledge oft attending acts
Especially in politics
Where charlatans and lunatics
Prevail, resulting at the polls
In Congress fraught with sorry souls
This ignorant complacency
Can doom our great democracy
Electing to its leadership
A president who’s quite unfit,
A Congress that gets nothing done
And wars on end that can’t be won
I do lose patience when I hear:
“On politics, I don’t go near.”
This attitude, this stupid stance
Just means you’ll vote in ignorance
That in this information age
Gross ignorance is center stage
7/4/16
Learning, knowing, and reacting to political thought is what formed and continues to shape our country.
To live unknowing and uncaring is both dangerous and foolish.
How can one make the world a better place if one knows so little about where it is right now?
