I like the photo you choose to go with your poem, they are a perfect match
You captured my attention from the first word to the last Your words are so true
This is what I call a food for thought poem
Take care

Comment from Earl Corp
I think you kind of shortchanged the Republican stanza. You made it seem like Democrats are the only ones who prefer equality. I think both parties also favor statesmanship and respectful negotiation. Good luck in the contest.

Earl, I am not intending to be on either side of the system. I my humble opinion, our two party system has lost the original and morally upstanding focus, Debate and compromise with an intended focus on social and fiscal responsibilities.

Dear Mystery Writer,
I am not sure either of those first two statements is true, actually. The Democratic Party we have at the moment is a long way from encouraging and promoting democracy. But the last stanza was something I can agree with. Thanks!

Robyn I couldn't not agree more, my words are very specific about the tenants of our tow party system from its inception. I make no political statement here, both parties have, in my opinion, lost thee moral compass and objectives.
Comment from Pantygynt
They asked for three stanzas. You have given them three lines. Yes you can have single line stanzas but in that case there should be a line break in between each line/stanza.
It is about as 'nice' as one can be about politics and the qualifying adverbs concluding each line/stanza work well but at the moment it is non compliant and a non compliant work can never be worth five stars in my book.

Comment from Sally Law
I see the winner here so far. I appreciate the excellent presentation and your ability to see both sides. A rare gift. The others in the contest still had an sharp edge of political blame iced with guile. I wish you all the best,
Sally :))
