About the Poem
This poem is about society today and how people can be tricked into believing anything. It's about how so many people make decisions without thinking them through first.
It is called "The Election" because I wrote it about my History teacher whom I call "The Politician."
The Election |
| by Jessica |
| They say not to believe anything you hear and only half of what you see but how long can we ride the rods? They try to alter our thoughts and notions and it doesn't take much effort because our shells have been eroded. Perhaps the adaptation process went awry and we are not progressing, but regressing with each passing moment. For there are more problems than time in which to solve them and Murphy's always in the vicinity but don't abandon the aspirations. Rome wasn't built in a day but could be destroyed in a second which shouldn't worry you, but does. We've developed insane beliefs, lost all respect, and found no comfort. We should stop the cursory glances; for once, take a good, long look and maybe we will understand. |
