Inscrutable
Even though it turns my stomach, all the deaths while Trump’s remote
Even though I feel for people struggling to make ends meet
Even though it worries me, Trump’s legal moves to thwart our votes
I do feel good that signs are strong for Biden’s win by margins great
The DOW is down, the turnout’s up, persistent voters in long lines
Mail-in ballots and the polls are pointing strongly Biden’s way
But not for granted can we take it, things can change in little time
Be that as may, I like the way that Biden’s prospects look today
The vote’s a referendum on the Pres.; his lack of leadership
In handling the virus plague now spiraling beyond control
His blatant moves to change us to a virtual dictatorship
Weigh lightly, if at all to voters, nor his permanency goal
Liar, cheater, gross behavior, acts that border close to treason
The man’s a clear and present danger to our young democracy
It strikes me: the indifference of most voters. What’s the reason?
It took a great pandemic to reveal the man’s inadequacy
The reason is so many of us hardly notice daily news
It hardly has an impact on our lives, or so we think
It’s politics, ugh politics, the prevalence of public views:
Do-nothing Congress, all corrupt; not worth it to maintain a link
This virus is the worst of banes; the toll it’s taking hurts my soul
But we’re it never to have happened who’d have won next week’s election?
It’s likely Trump would be much closer, leading in the daily polls
God’s ways inscrutable and hard to take, upon reflection
