Christians Voted Both

 

 

Christians voted Republicans

And Christians voted Democrats,

Didn’t they both seek God’s will

Before they perform the act?

 

If Trump is the Antichrist

Then, Christians voted for him,

You and I should both agree

This was a terrible sin.

 

 

 

If Harris was God’s will

Why did the Antichrist win?

Perhaps God left it to the electorate

Thus, voting can’t be a sin.

 

Who was the lesser evil?

Weren’t Christians really sure?

Could it have been one of those times

They should have prayed more?

 

What about the prophets

That said they heard from God?

Did they tell the full truth?

Did they declare it all?

 

Not all of them were right,

Some were definitely wrong,

And the supporters both parties had

Were in the millions strong.

 

 

 

Yes, Christians voted both

But only one could win,

Those Christians on the losing side:

Did they commit a sin?

 

If the right party won

Then the wrong party lost,

If it should have been the other way

I wonder what will it cost.

 

According to some Christians,

God’s will be done,

The wrong party invariably loses

Thus, the right party has won.

 

Kudos to the Republicans

If that is really so

But given my limited scope in such,

I really don’t know.

 

 

Christians voted both

Thus, Christians won and lost

Let us see what will happen now

With Donald Trump as boss.

Just Musing 1

 

 

If the door is open

And the door is ajar,

Then tell me how far is near

Before near is far?

 

It is a fair question

In the preceding verse,

Though it mightn’t seem so

Seeing it at first.

 

There is a thin line

Between near and far

And it may very well be so

When the door is ajar.

 

Tick-tock goes the clock

But I only hear tick,

Or, maybe it is tock I hear:

There must be a trick.

 

Outsmarted by a clock

From in nursery school

But now something tells me

I’m not the only fool.

 

Up is directional

And so too is down

So, if I am neither up nor down,

Then I must be around.

 

 

A circle has no centre

If I cannot see one

But if there was, tell me,

Where has it gone?

 

Has it disappeared

After causing the circle?

Maybe it was feeling lonely

Just like some people.

 

It’s naturally unnatural

Sounds really great

But what in tarnation "it" is?

What is "its" state?

 

  Natural yet unnatural

What can it be?

I haven’t the foggiest idea;

Show it to me.

 

 

Trump trumped Kamala

And now he is trumpeting,

That makes him a trumpeter:

His own trumpet blowing.

 

Some are nitpicking

And some are picnicking

Quite a few are panicking

And already itching.

 

She is a distant cousin

Yet she lives next door,

How that can be is my query;

Tell me some more.

 

I’m sure you’ve heard

Of cousins removed,

Nothing to do with proximity:

Just family approved.

 

If only Kamala had won

Trump would have been done

And America would get run

The way it was run.

 

 

That’s a one-sided view

If you are a Democrat

But expect faithful Republicans

To hit back.

 

If Trump had not won

America would have lost

Since under the Democrats’ reign

Was spiraling costs.

 

Two opposing views

I’m hearing here of late

Ever since the recent election

In the United States.

 

 

Uppity and Crotchety

Are Siamese twins

Having similar characteristics

As in kith and kin.

 

 

One is overbearing

The other underwhelming

And when they are together

It’s not entertaining.

 

Depressing more likely

And quite quarrelsome:

One has all of whatever there is

And the other has none.

 

My musing is over

Your abusing has begun,

If you have read this much

I have won.

The Other Side

 

 

Always another side:

Can we agree on this?

Else there’s something fundamental

We have missed.

 

Two sides to a story;

At the very least

And of course, there is the truth

That can never cease.

 

In the prequel to this:

“Panic Setting In”,

I presented the Democrat’s side

In the midst of the din.

 

A tumult it was

As the Democrats reflected

On what was a colossal loss

They least expected.

 

The end of the world-

Democrats’ world at least,

For the mesmerizing Beauty

Was taken by the Beast.

 

 

 

In the Democrat’s view

But not Republicans;

No, this was a time for rejoicing

For all Trump fans.

 

Not the end of the world

But a beginning

And in the days and years ahead

They will be singing.

 

Illegal immigrants!

The border will be closed,

No longer will they come across

Unopposed.

 

And those now there

Will be deported

Of course, unless they can show

“Document supported”.

 

The wars will end:

At least Russia and Ukraine

And this action will be achieved

In Donald Trump’s name.

 

The economy will be fixed

As it was in twenty-sixteen,

After all, unlike the intervening years,

Trump is on the scene.

 

 

 

America will be great,

Greater than ever before

And all because Trump run things

The country will soar.

 

Soar like the eagle

High up in the air

Such that America’s enemies

Will tremble with fear.

 

None would dare oppose

Or contradict

And Trump will be supported

By poor and rich.

 

For power is right

And the right to enforce

All that is great for America

Of course!

 

Thus, the other side

Of the same coin, indeed,

And when the narrative unfolds,

Same channel same feed!

 

They know their own

And are known by them

And when in bed together

It’s not a problem.

 

The pawns will quarrel

And become concerned

Knowing as collateral damage

They will get burn. 

 

But the proverbial cat

Will land on its feet

Once President Donald Trump

Has the White House seat.

 

As in “Panic Setting In”

Let me again state

What has been my position

Long before here of late.

 

I am neither Republican

Nor Democrat

But just one trying to decipher

Between opinion and fact.

Panic Setting In

 

 

It’s the best of times

And the worst of times,

Garbage put Trump over the top

And the loser whines.

 

Panic is setting in

For they expect the worst

Since with Trump on the throne

It’s like a curse.

 

He is anti-Blacks

And anti-Asians too,

Anti-Latinos, and anti-Mexicans

Is a popular view.

 

Rise, Ku Klux Klan!

It’s your time to shine,

With Donald Trump at the helm

It is your time.

 

The illegal must go

The Whites are saying

For the “Great Again America”

We are building.

 

This is quite in sync

With Trump’s sentiment:

To make America Great Again

His sole intent.

 

A glance at history

Tells us when this was

For when America was great

Blacks were judged.

 

 

Judged to be slaves

Or at most cotton pickers,

No better than despised snakes

That on their belly slither.

 

Second class citizens

With freedom curtailed,

And when agitating for rights

They mostly failed.

 

Panic is setting in,

Here comes the curse

And the Democrat supporters

Think he is the worst.

 

A one-man rule:

Alias Donald Trump!

Garbage voters put him in

So, USA is a dump.

 

The end of the World

Is around the bend;

Donald Trump and his minions

Will be the end.

 

With a rod of iron

The Whites will rule

And America will be great again

And all will be cool.

 

 

True for Republicans

But not for Democrats,

The end of the World is coming

Now that Trump is back.

 

The end of elections:

That is for sure,

With Donald Trump as President

No need for more.

 

America will become

The Trump Towers again

Though from the White House

Donald Trump will reign.

 

Please be advised

That this is just a view,

It is categorically not mine!

How about you?

 

I don’t know enough

Re one side or the next,

And consequently, I am ignorant

Of the real context.

 

But what I do know

There seems to be panic

And there are many who believe

Americans are sick.
