My vote

Graphic by Bruna Costa

Free and fair elections, bought and paid for.

We don’t care to know anymore about the rule of law. A trade war with our neighbors, is that what ourvote was bought and paid for? I don’t know why folks don’t barter any more crypto coins with the New King’s face on them.

Poor people need another stimulus check. It’s feeling like people are starting to wish old Joe was back. Gas prices are going up along with the price of eggs.

The Lord only knows why people let their vote be bought and stolen, and history rewritten. Will there be any mention of the words “they’re eating the cats and dogs in Springfield?”

Tom makes Americans hate the red, white, and blue again, if people only knew that to hate is a sin. And then again, the Lord hates when you say you will do a good thing and you don’t do it, right?

Just keeping it tight, trying to shed some light. It’s not normal to pardon criminals when you first come into office as the leader of the free world, right?

The Supreme Court or the Senate oversight should have another impeachment investigation done, right? Our constitution is being ruined in this fight, stamped to the ground and almost dead, right?

I thought after George Floyd we would get it right. Racial equity under the law. Diversity, equity, and inclusion sound like strange words for a Black man in America like me.

I still believe in the goodwill of those who believe Jesus Christ the Messiah will return and bring peace and justice one day, right? Justice is not free, you have to stand up and fight for the red, white, and blue, the green land, and Black folks. Would it really make a difference if people knew The Holy Mother of Christ could have been a proud Black woman too?

In these times and days, we need all of us not just to pray, but to stand up for justice each and every day. When Christ returns, what will he say about justice for the children of Israel and the people of the DMV? And who believes in the home of the brave and the land of those who would be free of fear and fair to another human being who doesn’t look like you or me? If you are migrating in the name of the Lord, let the angels bring the children forward to freedom and the goodwill of men and a vote for redemption within.
