Poisonous game
Second guessing
Every decision.
Wondering
This right?
Reality unfolding
Nuanced ways
Dogma prioritized
Organize mobs.
Frustration and angry
Votes casted
AWOL system
Ignoring voters’ needs.
Switching elitist groups
For another.
Invoking
Long dormant hopes
In protest.
Delicate flower flourishing
Ever so briefly
In strong winds:
Obama presidency.
Reoccurring nightmare
Haunting America
Maybe?
Perchance
New opportunity
Experiencing the dream.

And federally, for the House of Representatives and Senate.
