Ballot Ii

I’m fascinated by the show I don’t understand it But, I am entertained It’s truly a circus to behold To watch the clueless and the bold Battle it out in a game of wits A tit for tat in a war of twits “I’m fighting for you” Is their battle cry As they ramble thru Lie after lie The other side will do you in If you don’t vote for me and help me win I’m just like you can’t you see Vote for me I’ll set you free The divide, the division, the line of hate Each side blaming The nations fate Has civility become a victim of late? I try to understand, to grasp and see But all political wisdom Is lost to me To my beloved country, I pledge allegiance To the flag of the divided states of America And to the republic for which it barely stands One nation? under God (hopefully), indecisive, with liberty and justice for some (as long as your legal) Eric (and sometimes not)
