The Freedom Of Tears

We are free to cry all year round and through out
the length of every election cycle, but always
we want cry and hide our tears most when
the latest election result has been announced;
that is what being addicted to 'breaking news' means.

Today we could cry for the forty years
of polarisation of an American media by
the lack of requirement of balance and objectivity.
 
We could cry for the contorted electoral boundaries
that are the result of both main parties parcelling up voters
by profile of race wealth to disguise the divisions by riches
that the rich prefer, which they know hurt the poorest most.

And lastly Lady Liberty should have
a good cry about what preceded those divisions
and the Jim Crow laws which made some citizens
forever 2nd class and unrepresented
- as if opportunity was purely the chance to fleece
those with less as they started life  where what faith was in most
was the love of money. which left no room for the love of anything else.
