Election Day 11\/6\/18<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

by Alexander Manzoni<\/em><\/strong>, elections correspondent<\/em><\/p>\n\n

It is Election Day. Yay?
Time to discover who shall go<\/em>
and who will stay.<\/em>
If you haven\u2019t gotten up off your ass, by now,
you will probably never <\/em>be saved.

Time to vote. Even if it sounds like a joke.
Don\u2019t you realize that\u2019s what The Enemy is hoping?<\/em>
To demoralize until Our Will subsides.
So you\u2019ll turn a blind eye
to these PLUTOCRATS.<\/em>
This democrat is crossing his fingers.
There is a foul stench that lingers across the land.
It is the miasma of DEATH and DESTRUCTION,<\/em>
CORRUPTION. <\/em>Your instructions are: to VOTE.<\/em>

Racism has schismed our public consciousness.
Are you seriously willing<\/em> to go along with THIS?<\/em>
Or are you going to fall <\/em>for their endless parade of tricks?<\/em>
Billionaires, they try to scare you.<\/em>
They have withheld The Truth.
All that matters, to them, is The Bottom Line.<\/em>
The signs are there<\/em>
(if you know where<\/em> to look).
These crooks, they will do whatever it takes<\/em>
to shape <\/em>and shake <\/em>Our Will.
They WILL COME <\/em>and eventually KILL US <\/em>in our beds.
Breaking bread with Saudis and MAD Russians.<\/em>
There is no question that they fail <\/em>to
hold Our Best Interests, in mind.
WE ARE BLIND AND IN THE DARK.<\/em>
We\u2019re feeling along the ground while paranoid psychotics
load rounds in a fortified New Mexico compound.
Are we stepping towards <\/em>The Polls?
Or are we marching towards <\/em>a bottomless hole?
The only goal<\/em>, I have, is to do what I can<\/em>
to make sure this plan, it is NEVER realized.<\/em>

If we lose<\/em>, don\u2019t commit suicide.
Know that this ride, it has only JUST BEGUN.<\/em>
Good vs. Evil. The War continues<\/em>
in Red vs. Blue electoral battlefields.
They will not yield.<\/em>

NEITHER WILL I.<\/em>
THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH WILL NEVER DIE.<\/em>
