An Inconvenient Truth About American Democracy Limerick

I have written about this before, and I will keep writing about it because it is a plague on this country that is never going to go away. Quite the opposite. It will only get worse because the people who can end it have a vested self interest in perpetuating it.

A Few “Maybe The Founding Fathers Did Get It Right” Limericks and an “Are We On The Brink Of Another American Revolution?” Op/Ed

On the wall of the Jefferson Memorial. Maybe the Founding Fathers were enlightened, open minded and knew that the future would bring great change. This from the Man that wrote the Declaration of Independence and had the foresight to make the Louisiana Purchase and open up America from Sea to Shining Sea.

A Democracy Makes Choices Limerick

The election was historic. More people voted than in any other election before it. America should be very proud of that. It is what makes America the greatest country in the world. And though the election clearly showed that we are a divided nation right now, I am confident that once the post election chaos and litigation comes to an end, which will happen sooner before later, the greatest country in the world will do what it always has done – come together to find answers to the problems facing our great nation and make America an even greater place to live and pursue happiness.

A Founding Principles Limerick

I came upon this article when I was researching the founding principles.

A Post-Election Limerick

The election was a test of our Democracy.
Now we’ll see what’s going to be.
This we already knew –
America is not Red or Blue….
It is Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free.

Americans voted, their voices were heard and there was change in the political landscape; now what will that change bring.

An “As We Begin Year Two of Trump” Limerick

It has been quite a while since I wrote a political limerick. I’ve been like many other Americans, unable to suspend my disbelief that Donald Trump was elected President of the United States and hoping that I will awake from this nightmare and find that it was just a bad dream.

A “First Week Of Making America Great Again” Limerick

This quote is from Dan Rather –

“A recurring headline as we document Trump’s first week in office: ‘President Trump Declares War on _________’. Mexico. Immigrants. Women. Scientists. The GOP. Journalists….a dizzying attack on a cross section of people. His executive actions of the last 7 days emphasize division and destruction.”

These are not alternative facts and they led to this…..

A Presidential Election Limerick

It’s an election year. Lucky us. 350 million people get to pick the one person to be the leader of the free world. Most of those people will not participate in the process. Many can’t due to being under the voting age or being too old to get to the polls. But the majority of non-participants think that their voice will not be heard and their vote doesn’t really count. And they may be right. I have written about this previously. Almost 2500 years ago, Aristotle said that Democracy is the lowest form of government – to paraphrase his reasoning, it’s the inmates running the asylum.
