Expensive Fallin’
Nov 5, 2024
in context to Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” heard on Election Day 2024
The cost to feel
hot contention
is way too high —
but worth mention.
The cost to cast
your sacred vote
is paid with what
you underwrote.
The cost to use
your volitions
now requires
safe conditions.
The cost to fall
from corrupt grace
is going to mean
a loss of race.
NOTE: The result of today’s election in the United States of America is going to go down in and on history — as it has been written in the stars of our hearts, souls, minds, spirits, bodies. Thanks to the creative energy of Tom Petty for this song and its layers of meaning. I pledge allegiance to the song…because I am free to do so and I am grateful. Thank you for reading.
