We don't vote for change
We vote for someone to blame
Change comes from within

Very true word indeed
Only a changed man can truly change a nation

Your political senryu is very good. Your 5-7-5 syllable count is in good order. The message that,

Change comes from within

is very true. This poem has a thought provoking message. Nice job.

HOWL-alujah! I almost clicked away before reading when I saw Obama's photo here . . . I'm so sick of the blame game. However, your message turned out to be a VERY VERY VERY pleasant surprise, as well as very true! Amen to this! Great job offering us a political message with an answer not an accusation! (((HUGS)))

I happen to agree with your premise - but that is not the way our world - political world words.

Great words for a senryu - not at all practical in the here and now. Too bad though.

Picture is perfect. AT=/

    Thank you. I don't know. History is full things once thought impractical in our world. MLK, Lincoln, just to name a few proved that the world can change, with enough courage and will. Someone just has to start.

Wow an interesting way to look at 'change' - in these times we live in we are told by mentoring gurus that all change must come from within and an equally interesting observation 'We vote for someone to blame'

You don't vote for change
though you might vote for what you hope is a catalyst
Change comes from within
and needs to be nurtured and sown
We vote for someone to blame
and that's to our shame

we should be voting in hope - not resignation.

well done

We recognize the promises for what they are....lies at best. Where is the hope? Maybe next time? A fine poem, thank you for sharing.

I don't review too many of these ultra short poetic formats, as I just don't find many of them worthy of a review from myself. This one however spoke to me and should raise a few eyebrow of those that read it. I enjoyed reading this well delivered poetic message... John
