You may be wondering why a) I’m posting my Guest Writer Spot on a Saturday and b) I’ve already had a guest writer this week and am now featuring another. Well, the answer is – why not?!
Many of you know Matt Snyder from his entertaining blog iMcreative. Today, he’s written a poem expressing his feelings on an important upcoming event.
No Time For Apathy
Republicans are red Democrats are blue If you sit this one out Then America is screwed
Yes, the system sucks I do agree But this Administration continues to make life worse & Americans may no longer live in the land of the free
But you argue The country has AlWAYS sucked That politicians on both sides are all corrupt
Yes, for centuries we have been ripe with scandal Mostly old rich white men Who continue to urge us to divide and manhandle Mostly I say because The man elected in 2008 was just as rich, but far more great Money runs The corruption machine And it especially runs deep within the regime
But if you sit this one out
And in your heart you hate this brand of red
Then I blame you for a forever dread
