To the 83%

Attributed to Jeff Wilson (editor-supplied)

Roses are Red
Violets are blue
I voted in the election
why didn’t you?

Are you too busy
with a life full of fun
to contribute your vote
on the way the city’s run?

Or perhaps you’re just lazy
and don’t give a damn
about who’s in charge
of this chunk of land

Maybe you’re just ignorant
and think life is good
so why should you bother
getting involved in your ‘hood

Soldiers, sailors and marines
died for this right
that you let others decide
gives me a fright

Many words come to mind
when I think about you
Apathetic, lazy, selfish, and boring
should give you a clue

Now the election is over
we have the final tally
And we, not you, made the choice
on who runs this valley

A Haiku to The 83%

Ender, Bob, Spierer and Trautman
Post box and poll booth
All you say is who?
