Poem 162: Make Your Vote Count

So have you been following the antics of our Premier Doug Ford?

Do you think he is a man of his word?

Saying that we had the Covid 19 under control

While being re-elected is his ultimate goal

This is now the sixth wave of the virus in case anyone has lost count

The infections for the Province are once again starting to mount

Doug however is handing out money left and right

Instead of continuing in the Pandemic fight

Promising now that he will raise the minimum wage by fifty cents

Is his strategy geared to insult our intelligence?

Of course this will only happen if he wins the upcoming campaign

This only contributes to Ontarians continuing feelings of disdain

He held up signing up for the ten dollar a child day care plan

To me he is showing the traits of a seasoned con man

He opened the Province once again at the worst time

He and his cronies are partners in this crime

Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting

a different result

The fact all the people in power are becoming some sort of cult

It’s just like “Follow The Leader” that old children’s game

Now it is evident how they came up with the name

Can we not come up with a more practical plan?

We’ve been stuck in this cycle since the day it began

Not one politician wants to break the mold

Once again our new found freedom could be put on hold

So we will go through this scenario like we’ve done so many times before

Once again we have to wonder just how many more?

No one seems to be learning from the mistakes being made

Less and less of the population shows any concern I’m afraid

Meanwhile candidates are going to be out among us to solicit our vote

Ignoring the people and companies who have struggled to stay afloat

Making pledges to voters and ignoring the rest

Not making much progress with this Covid 19 pest

Perhaps it may be time to seek a new representative to occupy that chair

Someone who’s more suited to the challenge and is more aware

This past two years for the majority has certainly been tough

Our challenge is to seek out that diamond in the rough

So question each candidate whether they are established or new

Give them the chance to express their  point of view

Be very selective on the questions you choose to ask

This should help you determine if they are up to the task

This scourge is here to stay but we have to get it contained

There has be a policy put in to at least keep it maintained

It’s time to finally change things and try a different route

If you don’t have confidence in your representative, then just vote them out
