Alternatives

It's  time for the Americans 
to try something new.
Let's all of us eschew the polls,
see what the pow'rs do.	

So, what if there was not enough
of voters in the booths
to cast a vote one dumb jerk,
what would then be the truths?

I'd like to see a president
who cares about all of us
and would see to our human rights
without a great big fuss.

Those who have dropped out 'long the way
had 'portant things to say.
If we'd only supported them,
we'd not have mess today.

So, now I say to all voters,
rethink your voting stance.
If we don't take another way,
we will not stand a chance.
