House of Paine

I vote for the half that don't vote

 
 i want to hear 
from the half that don't vote
you and I both know

they got a mixed bag 
of  very sensible 
reasons and motives
for their preference

 none of the above is 
the best candidate in the race 
by ten laps 


==========================
 



if the no shows
pass the 50% point
 on the high side 
 this november second

as they surely will

well

i'd say
 their "no  vote"

amounts
to a clear majority mandate

forget  
the nugatory strivers  fragment
nader will cull

this will be a solid silent majority

the people will have decisively 
  voted their conscience 

   

 " fuck the two party system

fuck all  ballot box sleepy hollows

fuck duty-ville america"

======================


now 
really
all i  want 
is 
to tabulate 
the hard core no shows

i want to see the preferences 
of 
 say
all folks
 who  haven't voted 
in a presidential election 
   since 

the later of 
    their 18th birthday
                or 
      the reagan revolution
                           re-elect of 1984
 
 and here's what

i'd like to know 
their views on  

call it prop 666

 
 " let it  here by 
     be resolved
     that until further notice 
       
   we  the people 
        wish to  dissolve 
             the present 
          corporate occupation
                     governing  system "
