When
a pitcher is en route to a possible no hitter in the dugout
Not
a word from his teammates that a major event maybe coming about
Total
silence on his chances or who might the break the no hitter spell
Almost
the same at the DNC as rioters across the nation are putting cities like Portland
through Hell
Speaker
after speaker silent on the looting and destruction
The idea of law and order swamped with violent eruptions
Only
claim after claim that Trump is an enemy of democracy
Responsible
for the CV deaths and joblessness put forth in lunacy
Biden
emerges tomorrow from his bunker basement to take center stage
Will
his teleprompter speech quiet the concerns over possible dementia that rage
This
is probably an election like no other we have ever faced
Polarized
beyond belief any civility or reason long since replaced
Polls
show Biden in a lead but the gap is beginning to close
Trump
supporters hoping the debates will Biden’s lack of mental fitness expose
Blues
praying any chance of recovery from the pandemic stall
While
the divisiveness should both Blues and Reds appall
76
wild days before one candidate will be pinned to the losing mat
76
days of a wild ride to Election Day so hold on to your hat
