Stupidity

Some people vote, but never think,  
Their choices shallow, quick to sink.  
They cheer and boast, with voices loud,  
But wisdom’s lost inside the crowd.  

They claim to fight for what is right, 
But never see beyond the sight. 
Lost in slogans, round they spin,  
Too blind to see the mess we’re in.  

So here’s to those who blindly choose,  
Their judgment lost, they’ll always lose.  
They choose without a second glance,  
Then wonder why they’re stuck in a trance.

  • A life time

    I remember the day you picked me out,  
    A shimmer on your wrist, young and proud.  
    The world was bright; you were full of dreams,  
    With laughter and plans bursting at the seams.  

  • After the Ballots

    When the echoes of voices have softened their sound,
    And the campaign signs come down from the ground,
    We’re left in the quiet, in the soft light of dawn,
    To mend what is fractured, to carry on.

  • Whispers

    The sun was setting, casting an amber glow over the street as I waited on the worn wooden bench at the bus stop. My eyes were drifting along the cracks in the pavement when I noticed someone sitting down beside me.
