I find it impossible to understand how one line can be a poem, but you have done a fine job of answering the call with forceful words that fulfill the prompt. Your theme is universal and timeless, so bravo for that too. Good luck in the contest. - Wendy

Comment from GracieAnn
KAHPOT,
This One Line Poem contest entry is powerfully written with each word carrying several words' weight. Regardless of what is currently happening, this write will not loose its meaning or power over time even when football players are retired! All the best in the contest! :0 GracieAnn

Comment from Thal1959
A very well stated idea - but directed at the wrong persons. It really should be we - the common folks - who take the stand. We tend to elect someone to represent us, and then we sit and wait. If we are disappointed, as we usually are, we sit until the next election. Oh, well... that's life. (I'm glad I am out of politics.)

Comment from RGstar
Resolutely said, with no more to add. That means what is said is meant, with a determined effort.
A nostalgic image of triumph, but also strong in message.
Best wishes.

Comment from Cedar
This is a very strong one-liner. You have said a great deal with so few words. It's difficult to review a poem with just 9 words in it. So, I wish you the best of luck in the contest...Bill

Comment from closetpoetjester
Bravo! This is such a resounding plee and bit of good advice all in one.
Represent the people and their problems rather than the party and the pig trough. And if you can't represent the people then get the hell out and let someone in who's prepared to.
I like the freight train impact.
Great message!
Sixer ALLLLLLLLL day.

Unfortunately, many politicians seem to only stand for themselves. Thank you for creating this timely and powerful, one-line poem and adding the dramatic artwork. Best wishes in the contest- Joan
