Pass the spam, we're in a jam! (an election season poem)

By A.E. Bayne

We are not the conquerors of old;
We are not the bearers of democracy that our fathers’ fathers were.
We are no longer exploration’s harbinger,
Or adventure’s lover.
Christ! We are not even prosperous in our own affluence.
Where is the decisiveness that drove our diligence?
Where is the raw spirit that brandished our individual enterprise?
Make a decision,
And make it real!
