Email Poem | Today's Poetry

 election dice
balanced
and weighed
in the light
of the year

plucked
and decoded
exposing
the fear

we look
at the pieces
the puzzle -
the plan

and sort
all the garbage
the best
that we can

nothing
is right
and nothing
is true

we wonder
exactly
just what
we should do

we turn
it all over
again
and again

do it
once more
then count
up to ten

we read
and we listen
to those
who know best

they all
contradict
and always
protest

so on
that big day
we'll all
roll the dice

and tick
in the box
without
thinking twice

Joy Weare,
3rd August, 2010.
