Hello!
I wanted to write a poem about the UK’s snap election, and also allude to the revelations that are coming out of America.
I was gifted with appropriate generated words, so here goes:
Tool Drain Virgin Disappointment Slant Fist Result Presidency Customer
Our worries: used as a tool
To drain the colour from an opponent’s face.
Who shouts loudest –
Has the best lines –
Will win the play (and day).
Nervous teens, poised for their virgin vote,
Already steeped in disappointment:
That adulthood
Did not mean freedom –
No matter which slant one adds.
Experienced casters, shake their fist
At the establishment;
Heckle the upstarts
(Are none too happy with any result
Others have come up with)
And, as the world cringes
At what the ‘Free World’
Hails a presidency;
It would appear that not many on Thursday night
Will be a happy customer of democracy…
It has been a crazy few months on the political front! I know which way I’m voting, but I am apprehensive about how it’ll all turn out for the country…when did I start caring so much, anyway?!
I think I’ll be watching the BBC News Channel a lot again over the next 36 hours or so 😉 good luck, Britain!
