To all you voters, my gf's first contribution to SFN/Darkside:

Checkmate


That sense of peril
endemic to the times we live in,
keeping nerve and eye alert
as we hurtle down freeways,
that tells us the footsteps behind us
as we walk a dark street
are boding no good
and it's time to run for it,

leans on my shoulder now
in the voting booth
as I lift myhand
to opt for a politician
I think least likely
to light the fuse of our finish,
and it palsies the hand
with churlish mutterings
of the long sad list
of my previous miscalculations.

Plenty of views and no thoughts, interesting.....guess it is too many big words for the darkside just like she said it would be....oh well

Hey now I am not a tard. Good poem just doesn't belong in FTP just saying. :D

sorry, AF. I feel I have no business or right to comment on American politics. It looks well thought out and written from the heart, nice work.

Just a guess, but I bet that is the first poem posted in the BTLS forum.

There is cowboy poetry, why can't there be truckdriver poetry, or construction worker poetry, or oil and gas worker poetry...

I'm sure that was a good poem though.

didnt write it but with the harsh politics being thrown around all the time it was a bit sobering for me......
