A poem, Looking back to nineteen ninety two
We have Yelled, " No more "
After the election, I truly believed Humpty Dumpty could be put back together again
After all he's been one of our childhood friend's
There's nothing so broken that it can't be fixed
So let's stop all this complaining and feeling so darn perplexed
Our day's are gonna shine again for me and you
Just like it did after the election in nineteen ninety two
Remember when we all had good jobs and money to spend?
We're on our way back, it just takes time to mend
The unholy war. The weapons of mass destruction. The taxes lowered on the rich
Buba tried to put we Democrats in a muddy ditch
Then he stole the election from my main man Gore
Lordy that made Ruby unhappy and mighty sore
When Obama came forward, I started to listen real close
To be perfectly honest, I liked Hillary the most
But the longer I listened to Obama's words
I knew in my heart he not only could lead us but also the nerds
They fought him every step of the way
The GOP and some Democrats who had gone astray
Times are different today. The Gop knows either they work with my man
Or they will be ousted just like us kids who used to play kick the can
The middle class has stood up and YELLED NO MORE
We're coming back like never before
So all you people who shout GLOOM AND DOOM
Roll up your silk sleeve's and grab a broom
Let's sweep the whitehouse clean, ousting the old dusty lifers
And get rid of the crooks known as sifers
Get ready for Hillary in twenty sixteen
She's been my hero and hope, what a beautiful dream
A woman in the whitehouse what a blissful feeling of joy
She hates wars and all of the warmonger's toys
She's as smart as they come and she's got backbone
She ' ain't ' ever gonna lie to the nation and she'll keep Bill happy in his old home.
Well I think it's about time to update this political rant
Looks like Hillary is ' gonna ' run, she never could comprehend the word can't
Just think about the change she will bring when she takes that sacred vow
Women running for congress nation wide, men reaping the benifits of someone who knows how
To make this country proud once again. To put security first and educate the poor
No one left behind, open admission, never a closed door
So get ready, twenty sixteen is just around the corner
Women stand up and shout, " We're with you all the way. " Some men may even ' wanna' joiner
Well it's May the 28th, 2016, and sure enough Hillary is running against Donald Trump. It's been a difficult time for President Obama but he's prevailed, and will go down in history as a great president who got some things done while the GOP had his hands tied behind his back.
The only thing that can beat Hillary is the people not voting. So you democrats get off your duff and vote. If ' The Don ' wins we're in for an uprising and perhaps blood in our street's.
See you at the voting machines in November...

AUTHORPerspycacious, I am sorry that you dislike Hillary so badly. I don't think there's anything I could say that would change your thinking. Do you ever wonder why she was the only Secretary Of State that was targeted for emails when Colin Powel and Rice both had private email systems that they used the same way as Hillary? If you think Trump will do everything perfect, you are in for a BIG letdown. He is so uneducated and he will never be our president. I welcome all comments, but your reasoning for your dislike for her is rather lame!

Hello Nadine, I like the way you think. A woman needs to run every country, if so, there would be no more wars and equality would be the norm. Thank you for always supporting my writing.
There are great women who have been fine leaders. Mrs. Clinton comes with baggage, as do we all. In her case I find the baggage disqualifying when it comes to leading the free world. I want someone who listens and leads, not someone who listens and follows with their own narrow self interest foremost.
Greeting from South Africa. What a great poem. For me most if not all politicians are corrupt, but some more so than others. There is one woman in SA I have all the respect for. Our public protector: Thuli Madonsela. If only she would stand for president. she would get all peoples votes I'm sure, so in your case if I could, I will vote for a woman. If you want something to be done well, give it to a busy woman.

I disagree, but this is America, and we still have free-speech. Thanks for coming by.
Sorry to be contrary. There are many Americans who will be voting for Mr. Trump, and we are too far away from November to know (1) if Hillary will be indicted and stand trial (though it may be difficult to find a jury she would accept as her "peers") and (2) for a person who spent her time traveling the world as Secretary of State, many of us find that she did a lousy job of administering that one department of the government, and therefor find it undesirable to put her in charge of the entire Executive Branch and all the government's departments..
I am one of those who feel she needs to be accountable for her cavalier handling of sensitive correspondence, and who finds flaws in her resume.

Hello Susan. You were just a baby when America was in such a turmoil, a president who lied to us about Iraq having weapons of mass destructions thus, causing an unholy war from which we are still struggling financially. Thank you for reading. I appreciate you reading all my old hubs. God Bless.

Hello Bobbi, Bill Clinton had heart. He was one of us. He had a weakness and he paid dearly for it. Today he is very much respected, his work, helping to feed the poor is wonderful to say the least. His weakness effects many in high places, like you say. When are we ever going to learn that no man is perfect, we all have our weaknesses, we are just not so visible. Thank you. Your voice of reason always calms..Thank you..

Hello again Abby, It has taken decades for a woman to be respected enough to hold any kind of office, after all we've only been voting since 1893, just a little over one hundred years. We've come a long way, it's time to go further!! Cheers my friend..

Aw Ruby, What can I add, Clever, and Sweet and Straight from your Heart. Time will tell what the Future will bring. LOL. Girlfriend. And What a Treat to watch our "Jersey Guy" singing "Glory Days". Thank You!
How can I not read and comment on something that has my husband Bruce singing a most perfect song? Then my friend wrote this so I had to read. Politics aside, it is well written and fun.
Good for you! I love this poem and yes, I too loved the Clinton years, prosperity and a balanced budget. If Clinton erred in his personal life, well he is up there with Limbaugh, a recent general and so many, many more people at the top. He was a great President.
I was just telling my friend last night who lives in California, that we need to have a women follow Obama:) He doesn't think so due to the other countries in the UN not taking a women seriously I belive was his attitude:) I think a women is very much needed.
well ruby.. so good to see you my friend.. I believe you are so right.. love your poem..
many blessings
Debbie
Ruby,
In 1992 I was a kid learning life's lesson from the political upheavals in the country.
Thanks or sharing your perspective

Hello Abby, Humanity is the key to unlock hate and prejudice. I must not be alone in my thinking, he won the popular vote and the electoral. I really believe our country is finally pulling together, oh there will always be naysayers, but the majority wants peace and serenity in their lives. I do think it is time for a woman to lead, if not Hillary, then someone who will put this country ahead of hate and greed. Thank you for commenting. You make a lot of sense. You are my kind of people. Cheers my new friend..

Voted up...I mainly like the pick up the broom image and also of Hillary in 2016...I am not even talking political but the fact it is an image of change yet again for a country that I never thought I would see, first an African American in office and hopefully one day soon a women....despite our political affiliation or the way we voted...I have to say that Obama is our president...you can like it or you can hate it...but get a grip and help by supporting, speaking out when its productive, and really learn from each other. I hope Obama even learned things during all of this...and lead the way he feels is right for humanity...in the end its about humanity isn't it? If it isn't than what country are we in?
Loved it Ruby. I wish Clinton era could come back.
The flow in your poetry was exquisite

Hello Nell, Phew is right, HaHa..I can't imagine Hillary wanting to be the President, so much stress, but she has that drive and just think Bill would be there to help her. Hee.. Thank you..You always make me smile. BTW you could have written a dandy, all of us in Washington, ruining Obama's chance of ever being elected..HaHa..Cheers..

Hello Becky, President Obama not only won the Electoral vote, he won the popular vote. I agree it is time to move on. Hopefully you and everyone who lost their jobs will soon find a better one. I certainly hope so.Thank you for coming by and you are a good friend...Cheers..
Nice one Ruby, never thought that Hilary could go for it in four yearas? oh yes! lol! we sit on our couches over here watching to see what happens, thank goodness obama got back in, phew! lol!
This one is too funny, and definitely the god honest truth Linda, wow you are heating up here with these cool poems for sure, and I love the Humpty Dumpty intro to this cool poem .
You definitely have a way with words, and can infuse truth in ways to reinforce positive thinking into it all. Lovely job! thumbs up and getting shared.
Although I have lost confidence in anyone being able to bring us back from the terrible decline we are currently in, I commend you for taking the important approach of reminding all of us to chill out on the complaining. I feel the same way. It does us no good to keep "going on" about who ultimately won the election. Whether for or against it, it is a done deal and complaining about the spilled milk won't put it back in the bottle.
Great job my friend.

Dang, I didn't know you worked in a coal mine, couldn't the mine do something to stop the poluting. We have a coal mine nine miles from me, they hire lots of workers and they did something to clean the air. Ricky, I am truly sorry that the mine closed, losing your job. Maybe the mine can be remodeled into clean energy. Just wait, you will see good times again, better than ever, i pray. The GOP said they will now work with The President. ( They know they must or out they go too ) Thank you for responding. I feel that we are friends and i wish the best for you and your family.
Ruby, you know I love you dearly right:) I have no issue with Obama except for the mine that closed because of his EPA regulations. West Virginia is hurting cause coal is our economy. Coal is the reason that most of the United States pays cheap power rates, much lower then they would be without it. Coal makes a variety of products also. Its been hard working two jobs and I guess I am a little disappointed in it all. For all our sakes, I hope they can all work together cause none of us can afford another 4 years of Washington gridlock. Ruby, great points and a great write as always. Voted up, awesome, interesting, and shared.

Hello Martie, I really do believe it is time for a woman to be elected to lead America. If not Hillary then someone who will keep our defense strong and avoid wars at all cost. I was unaware of the political strife in your country, it's good to hear you have a strong woman to lead..WOMAN POWER.. Thank you for reading and your promise to vote for Hillary. I will tell her the next time we talk..Hee..

Hello Mike, HaHa..I am so glad the election is over. I took all my yard signs down, including my window and door signs. My refrigerator is still loaded with pictures. The man who mows for me now is our Mayor and he is a republican, a good man. I voted for him, but i know he was tired of mowing around the signs. I wrote this after reading Will's hub, i didn't comment but i wanted to, so i had a few nips and blew..I will call Hillary and remind Bill to not roam..Hee.. I love your comments, they always make me lol..Thank you my friend..
This was fun to read, AE! I loved it!
An interesting point of view poem and I hope you are right . At the very least you have a positive outlook and I like that. Well done always exploring. I like your style.
Great and powerful message. Much enjoyed how you put this together and my absolutely favorite Springsteen song it can't get better. Looking forward to Hillary's term in office. Passing this on.
So interesting to observe your political views, AE. Of course, I will vote for a woman. If you want something to be done well, give it to a busy woman. (The busier a woman is, the better she performs, while men can do only one thing at a time = my personal kitchen-philosophy.)
One of our provinces is run by a woman - Helen Zille - who is also the leader of our best opposition party (opposing the [incompetent] ANC). Only the totally brainless will not be able to acknowledge Helen's fascinating expertise in leadership AND the positive results of her actions.
Okay, you've got my vote for Hillary Clinton :))
Take care, Ruby!
I think you share the voice of countless, including me. Thank you.
Hello Always, you are a visionary. Looking ahead right now is brilliant. You know the GOP's war machine is retooling right now. Every dirty trick they pulled this time will be doubled in four years. You contact Hilary tell her you are on her team starting today.

Oh drbj, I didn't mean you when i called the republicans nerds. I hope you know that. I guess we could team up and be the first two females running the white house. We'll think about that this next four years. Thank you for another great poem. You'd be surprised at how many times i come back to my hubs and read your poetry. BTW, I appreciate you much Dear friend...

Hello Joyce, I think most women see Hillary as a strong leader. She has been through a lot too. Bill being unfaithful really hurt her, but she bounces back stronger than ever. Thank you for coming by to read my mad rant. Cheers my friend..

Hello Mar, I can see a woman in the white house. A woman would never start a war, yet she could be strong on defense. I know i watched too much TV during this election. I was upset with the horrible remarks some made against the President. I have always felt a connection to him and his family. He was a poor boy who made it to the top. I admire that because my childhood was much the same. I regret calling republicians nerds. I have some good friends in that party. Let's face it, i was mad. Thank you. Your comments are always so upbeat and kind..Cheers..

Hello Cardisa, I like President Obama. I believe with all my heart that he is a good man who only wants the best for America. He believes in equality for all people and so do i. I voted locally for some republicans who do a good job. It really hurt me when hubbers linked all democrats as alike and lazy good-for-nothing's I am glad it is over. I rarely get mad enough to spew hateful words..Lordy..Thank you. Cheers

Hello Caroline, I do not know what happened to me! I read some comments made by some who called us lazy liberals and only wanted hand-outs. It made me furious and i blew. I almost removed it after i posted it.I said some unkind remarks too. Thank you for reading my rant..Cheers..
Lovely and I enjoyed the hint of humour. I hope someone close to Obama (well someone working around him) sees this and gives it to him to read. You never know Ruby.... :-)
Forget all those candidates, Ruby, and their empty promises,
You are the ONE to RUN to govern the states and the provinces.
I'm sending this note,
You now have my vote,
Because your no-nonsense ways instill the most confidence!
Promise! :) BTW - loved your great poem.
I'm with you all the way. The only trouble is I'm a resident not a Citizen so I can't vote. I was too disappointed when Hillary withdrew four years ago because I have always totally believed in her.
Vote up and Awesome, Joyce
Written with feeling and spunk...Ruby is in the house...!!
I wonder if nurses are drawn to strong women... I share your thoughts of Hillary.
You are so free...you are so lovely. Hugs, Maria
I love it, Ruby! I am curious about 2016, and have been wondering who will run for the Democrats. My guess is Hillary; why else would she step down from her cabinet post? I would love to see her run, especially since the Republicans are in such disarray and totally out of touch with mainstream America. Let's hope your dream becomes reality.
Sending you warm friendship,
bill
A wonderful share Ruby;you are one very talented lady and here's to so many more hubs for us both to share on here. I vote up and share.
Eddy.
Sounds like a good dream alright. Let us hope it come true.
Very interesting Ruby. Well thought through, time will tell us if you are right.
Graham.
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Ruby. I have been reading so much negativity about Obama's re-election lately that this her poem is a breath of fresh air. I like Obama but it's the American people who has to make up their minds.
Love this Ruby! So clever and it flows so well. You're a master with words. LOL. :)
