By now you should know,
We’re in the midst of an election,
But if somehow you don’t,
Use some sense of detection.
On city street corners,
Signs are starting to blossom,
You might think it an eye-sore,
But I think it’s pretty awesome.
Then there’s the negativity,
In the way of the attack ad,
Finger pointing and slandering,
It is both childish and sad.
So please noble politician,
Nod if you’re listening,
Run an issue-based campaign,
And your image will be glistening.
Between Mr.’s Harper
Ignatieff and yes even Layton,
A Prime Minister will be crowned,
It’s just a matter of waitin’.
Stay tuned for more election coverage; every 2 or 3 days there should be a new post. And let me know what you think of the “Poetic Politics” segment, it might make a regular appearance. Also, check out what CBC’s Rex Murphy had to say about campaigns, politicians and what standards they should hold in elections, really great piece from a thoughtful man. Enjoy!
