   Sometimes I like to see two or more sides.   
      
   Your fans will continue to be such as they are.   
      
   As will those who see you as being in some other way,   
   as their reflections or self-reflections admit, permit or park   
   bench them on an isle, I imagine.   
      
   In my experience, people tend to not change much especially   
   when they know they are right and don't care to change.   
      
   Some folks, it appears to me, can't change.   
   Even if some part of them wants to.   
      
   Unless, perhaps, an environment changes.   
   Maybe they bottom-out, or see a better Way.   
      
   People who want to be the president   
   are, possibly, not the best people for the job.   
   Unfortunately for all involved, assuming, presuming.   
      
   Being uninvolved, personally, is best for me.   
   Apathetic, apolitical, a Taoist, kinda sorta.   
      
   Twenty or thirty years from now, if I'm around,   
   it could be a wonder to look back and to reflect   
   on how much difference an election made,   
   in the eyes of those who see any.   
      
   There will be those who say, if only.   
      
   There will be those who speak of the farmer's son   
   who broke his leg riding a wild horse once   
   upon a time.
