The author hopes that John Kerry would win November election and she also hopes that this victory would bring better future not only to the country in general but to her family in particular.
The piece of her poetry below is dedicated, however, to the previous election of the year 2000. It was written about 1.5 years ago. |
This story wasn't so much vital,
Or important as was the Troy's fall:
Started once argue political leaders
Who the dumbest is of them all.
"I am truly, genetically dumb",-
Told the first, raised arms, tried to reason.
Put he then in his mouth the thumb,
Pointing out - there're no teeth of wisdom.
But the other two then disagreed,
"In our time teeth are no more a treasure.
Never mind you have no wisdom teeth,
You have other thing, it - almost measured!"
Second - the woman required Sainthood,
And declared, "I should be always a winner!
Husband is infidel, has bad moods.
Therefore, I-myself, would be leader!"
She wasn't answered though in time,
That in a lot of one party's countries
Were known failures of many wives,
Who had tried to keep men by the party.
Was the third one obedient, nice.
For his own good was too loyal.
He had lost his chance already twice.
Understood he - he was simply toyed!
They had argued all days and nights.
Couldn't have anyone convinced others.
So, to solve their problem quite right
They'd decided to look for advice.
Wise people don't reside now in barrels.
(It was so easy to find them back then).
However, in one of apartments
There was wise person (the woman, not man).
She could only afford swimming suits
(Nobody wants to pay her for wisdom).
She was trying to be nice not shroud
To accommodate needs of our three leaders!
"Can't I understand", - told she,
"Why 're you arguing who is the dumbest.
I can tell you even without any fee
You should first stop betraying each other!
Only together you'd win anything,
And do well what you are now paid for.
Don't argue who the dumbest is,
And, if need, you can come any more!"
She went back to her apartment then,
Looking wild with uncombed hair.
And three leaders turned their backs,
Breathing angrily the lake's fresh air!
They decided : "She was very rude,
The entire world is based on dummies.
And this truth - already proven for good
By great writer-Erasm Rotterdumski!"
One of leaders vowed to have her revenge:
Was evicted the woman from apartment.
It was not great or drastical change,
But this female-leader's still in power!
And for now this story has the bad end.
And this end it's gotten for wrong reasons.
In the cell is now staying woman.
Do you think it is good for the wisdom? |
