My good friends the Two Spoiled Cats’ humans went to Maine for a week, so we don’t have a photo to inspire us this week, so I am going to publish one of my own poems: “Choose KIndness.” It is something I hope all American voters will do on Tuesday when they elected a President.
This election season has been a grind
Its enough to make a Griffon lose her tiny mind
So when you choose the next person to lead mankind
Please consider picking the one who will be kind
While it may seem like we need someone to rule through hate and fear’
That we have no tolerance for those who are black, brown, or queer
We need to remember when our ancestors arrived after a hellacious trip they had to persevere
They were never met by the tip of a spear.
I know this country has more problems them an honest main can bear
And there are people who llve in despair
Thinking in only terms of hate will get us nowhere
So try kindness, the kind you find in a prayer
Hate is never right
Hate leads to violence and a fight
Hate is usually leads to plight
Hate is the devil’s delight
Kindness is never wrong
Ir causes everyone to get along
It put dances in you feet and in your heart a song
KIndness seems weak but it is really strong
If you vote for kindness you won’t regret it
Kindness never makes you a hypocrite
Kindness makes you never feel like a misfit
Kindness is always legit
So please choose kindness when you vote
Find then kindness candidate to promote
To the evil in the world kindness is the antidote
And in bad weather kindness gives you a lifeboat.
Bravo! That is just the totally purrfect poem!

ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween.

we would vote for you if we could...
ReplyDeleteExcellent advice. When my brother was expressing mild reservations about his daughter's boyfriend earlier this week, I asked just one question. "Is he kind?" My brother answered with certainty that he is and that was enough for me. (What father does not have the odd reservation about their beloved daughter's partner!)
ReplyDeleteCheers, Gail.
Well said, Ruby - very well said!
ReplyDeleteThat's a percect poem for our election. We have our paws crossed that kindness will win over evil.
ReplyDeleteOur BLUE ballot has been received - and I've been hearing my mom say lots of HBO words about the old rotten orange baby man - and she has really ramped up the words after hearing what he said about Liz Cheney in AZ last night with the other a$$ - pathetic 'humans'
