Round . . .

. . . and round it goes . . .

(from Lincoln's Last Trial by Dan Abrams and David Fisher)
". . . Twice Lincoln had gone up against him for election. In 1832, in Lincoln's first attempt to win public office, the good Reverend (Peter) Cartwright had defeated him for a seat in the Illinois state legislature. They met a second time in the congressional election of 1846, an especially nasty campaign. Running as a Whig, Lincoln objected strongly to Cartwright's insistence on bringing his religion into the public square. The Democrat Cartwright responded by tarring Lincoln as "an infidel," a man unfit to represent good Christians. Lincoln had won that election, and neither of the men had seen fit to apologize. . . "

To another temporal life episode
Which I plan to exploit absolutely

But Now . . .

(from https://www.livescience.com/34241-democratic-republican-parties-switch-platforms.html)

". . . sometime between the 1860s and 1936, the (Democratic) party of small government became the party of big government, and the (Republican) party of big government became rhetorically committed to curbing federal power. How did this switch happen? . . . Eric Rauchway, professor of American history at the University of California, Davis, pins the transition to the turn of the 20th century, when a highly influential Democrat named William Jennings Bryan blurred party lines by emphasizing the government's role in ensuring social justice through expansions of federal power — traditionally, a Republican stance. . . Republicans didn't immediately adopt the opposite position of favoring limited government. "Instead, for a couple of decades, both parties are promising an augmented federal government devoted in various ways to the cause of social justice," Rauchway wrote in a 2010 blog post for the Chronicles of Higher Education. Only gradually did Republican rhetoric drift to the counterarguments. The party's small-government platform cemented in the 1930s with its heated opposition to the New Deal. . ."

Reasons . . .

Why the beguiling smirking smile?
There's mystery behind those dark eyes
Can I trust that my best interest kept?
I need answers to these many "whys"

Summer's gone now, leaves have changed
The usual, natural switch
The hole I'm feeling in my soul
May be a reason for the stitch

Vantage . . .

The leaves are shaking, turning, rustling, falling
Blanketing all the horizontal real estate in view
Indicating the onset of a new season

The sun will be setting earlier
And the opportunities to comfortably enjoy the outdoors
Will soon be much fewer

But the change possesses its own unique beauty
And from this wonderful vantage point,
Who am I to complain?
