'Twas the Night of the Election

A political poem

13
'Twas the Night of the Election

'Twas the night of the election

and all in the nation

had to choose between a lady

and an orange crustacean.

As the people deposit

their ballots with care,

they fear of a future

of tiny hands and plastic hair.

The Donald entices

with his calls for change

and making America great,

but his methods are strange.

His rhetoric is hateful

and only meant to cause drama,

all he knows are Twitter wars

and how to shit on Obama.

I see what supporters

would get from his speech,

since Obama's obviously a terrorist

and should be impeached.

Obamacare's clearly

meant to be evil,

it does nothing but cause

private insurance upheaval.

But I'd think that cheap health care

would be a small price to pay

to keep out of office

a man endorsed by the KKK.

Now it's time to get real

and consider your choices,

because all of your votes

serve as all of your voices.

Do you want badass Hillary

fighting for rights

of the women of the nation

every morning and night?

A candidate who uses

her politics acumen

To ensure all her constituents

are treated like humans?

Or do you want Trump,

of whom I have exhausted

all my words to describe

everyone he's accosted?

'Twas the night before the election

and as I finish up,

I have one request, America:

Please don't fuck this up.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
