Trumped-Up Reality.....Of Our Own....Doing Poem by James B. Earley

'In ones own...best interest'
...Many declined to accept
Logic's infinite wisdom
...That brilliance...of concept

Amidst challenges aplenty
...Some beyond our control
Countless others...unfortunately
...Simply failed to behold

Like deer...in the headlights
There we were in the road
....Our....own...best interests
Seemingly too heavy a load

Deliberately choosing not voting
...Disappointed...by some
Of our once favored people
....We therefore....succumbed

To the humdrum of choices
...Restricted...finally in two
Unsettling individuals
....Collectively...on view
*
*
*
Seventy million eligibles
....Then refusing......to accept
Life's immaculate wisdom
....Society's...critical concept

Indeed they sat on their asses
....Casting nary a vote
Now wondering why this reality
....We all thought so remote
