So many voters
want Biden to drop out of the race
due to
how he imploded
in the first presidential debate,
showing his age,
they say,
and that’s easy to understand.
But the contest between him and Trump
still stands,
and some folks
are indecisive
as to who they would vote for
which makes one wonder why these people can’t see
that our nation would be better off
if they went to the polls
and voted for Joe
whether he was comatose
or in hospice care
or on a life-support machine,
taking into consideration
that his opponent
is a lying demonic fiend
who wants to cause harm
to all that’s just and right,
his mind on the likes of
deporting immigrants
left and right,
willy-nilly like,
continuing denying women their human rights,
filling government positions
with yes-men and women
who want to please him
as he
acts out his fantasy
of being a king
to whom they owe their fealty,
acts that would gradually, metaphorically,
grind our democracy
into fine sand
left to blow in the wind,
bringing a noble experiment
of forming a more perfect Union
to an abrupt end.
Being indecisive as to who to vote for
in a situation such as the one we’re in
would be a transgression
against our own humanity.
