The title is so perfect with so many meanings. I can't even write about all of this here, but your poem and the line "none of us are white" is dead on.
From an outsider's point of view, mud slinging aside, I see a lot of charisma, but not much substance between the two parties. Canada also goes to the polls October 14th. Interesting times we live in as your poem aptly points out.
I feel the longing and sadness in this poem. And you know, I think it is those two feelings that are really underneath so much of the anger expressed in the media and by our people. Thank you for expressing what I could not. Wonderful poem.
