Dancing with the Stars and Stripes
Posted: October 31, 2010
It's boogie time with the ballot box…
The right to vote is freedom's gift.
It gives us each the chance
to stand beneath the Stars and Stripes,
kick up our heels and dance.
To vote means leaning left or right,
then waltzing with our choice.
When we embrace what's dear to us,
our values find a voice.
But tango-ing with campaign ads
leaves most of us worn out.
The dirty dance steps they employ
results in jaded doubt.
The rumba of election day
won't come a day too soon.
I'm weary of the non-stop spin
each morning, night and noon
