Electorate on tenterhooks until...

rew4er2nail

outcome of 2020 presidential election announced

 

Polling places slated to open seven o'clock

in the morning November third two thousand twenty

heightened tensions will strain patience

to breaking point concerning

extreme anticipation common joe experiences

(biden his/her time)

regarding which candidate trumpeted

as de facto commander in chief of United States.

 

Carpe diem the echoing refrain

heard and seen dispensed and broadcast

across telecommunications medium

cuz the very survival of democracy at stake

ruthless political machinations employed

to seize inalienable codified rights

couched within Declaration of Independence

 

and Constitution, written ethos, dogma, credo...

compiling aggregate of fundamental principles

or established precedents that constitute

legal basis of a polity, organisation

or other type of entity and commonly

determine how entity governed.

 

Understanding North American government

inextricably found yours truly agape

when chance occurrence brought hefty tome

into self assigned reading material

which storied author David McCullough

wrote engrossing John Adams biography

I read aloud with measured deliberateness

clearly enunciating each syllable of every word

 

despite runaway enthusiasm

to acquire historical premise

whereby original thirteen colonies

teetered on brink of immediate collapse

soon after majority representatives

swore fealty among themselves

despite ragtag soldiers

easily overwhelmed courtesy

fighting force of British Empire.

 

As a staunch affiliate of democratic party,

one veritable common joe

just biding his time,

I trumpet how crass

deleterious, egregious, fractious...

usurpation of power

jackknifed, kickstarted and linked

 

endemic flood (gushing) hatred

malicious, nefarious, opprobrious putrescence

laid down at the feet

upholding seventy five inches

of corpulent doughy flesh

regarding one conceited, haughty, and obstreperous

politician orchestrating machiavellian leitmotif.

 

Mark my words, that bull headed incumbent

will clamor, foment, incite, loose chaos

if Democratic candidate garners more votes

at the ballot box nsync with absentee citizens

casting their lot with the worser of two evils

otherwise put head between legs,

and kiss tuckus goodbye,

cuz hell in a handbasket looms on horizon.
