The American Way
by
John W Frye
Words dipped in deadly poison
pass for “breaking news,”
While battling political parties
jockey for the most November votes.
Congealed anger replaces considered reason
as political energies
sink
very
low
under the “spin”
of acting so valiantly.
Yet, consider: ballots are still
better than bullets;
And the raucous American media circus
better than most others paths
in this world
to change “the powers that be.”

We are fortunate to live in a country where we have the opportunity to cast a ballot. I’m learning to take the silly campaigning and the landscape covered with signs for a few months every two years.
Bob,
I agree and me, too.
John,
Wonderful.
Powerful.
Thank you so much for this wonderful post for us all.
You have a talent.
Keep up the great work brother.
I hope you and your family have a blessed week!
Preacherman,
I appreciate your encouraging and kind remarks.
You keep up your great work, too, brother.
John
Better than bullets indeed … same goes for us in Oz.
Nicely said.
