reflections of an optimist

When you think of the election, try to put aside your Party affiliation and think how important being the President is to the world. Forget all the issues and concentrate on the people running.Would you want a man who gets vindictive anytime someone says something bad about him? Would you want a man who believes his sacrifices to make money equals the sacrifices of those who gave their lives? Would you want a man who said on CBS that he had no relationship with Putin and never had been in Moscow but said on national television months before that he had visited Putin in Moscow? People, no matter what you think of Hilary, this man is DANGEROUS!! This man is capable of acting out of anger to destroy the world as we know it. Think about it---do you really think that building a wall make any sense? Okay, we can make improvements but not with this man. He is running solely on appealing to anger and seems to get worse every day. He's NOT going to win but for the sake of reason, reassess your thoughts about him if you plan to vote Republican. In a few weeks, his Party will step aside and leave him alone. With his latest actions, I don't think they'll have a choice. The only issue he can run on is hate, and he will fan it for all it's worth. HIs latest rants, his lies that he doesn't seem to know he's made, makes me wonder about his sanity,

So, here's a poem I like to make me temporarily forget the madness. It's be a man named House.


How clear, how lovely bright,
How beautiful to sight
    Those beams of morning play;
How heaven laughs out with glee
Where, like a bird set free,
Up from the eastern sea
    Soars the delightful day.
To-day I shall be strong,
No more shall yield to wrong,
    Shall squander life no more;
Days lost, I know not how,
I shall retrieve them now;
Now I shall keep the vow
    I never kept before.


Ensanguining the skies
How heavily it dies
    Into the west away;
Past touch and sight and sound
Not further to be found,
How hopeless under ground
    Falls the remorseful day.
