Donald V Hilary I

Donald, Hilary
           Could you both just stop?

Hold your breath for just a moment
  and think  and feel  and see  and listen
  with your mind and hearts
to
  what we need,
    don't be blind, oblivious power play party  politicians, 
      cease being self absorbed, self centered, self righteous and ignorant.

The people are hurting,  the citizens   and the immigrants
   are looking for relief,   
   hoping for honesty,   longing for a plan
to 
   bring us back  to be America again
     land of the free  and home of the brave
       losing hope and crying tears

Give us everything we've lost and 
    keep the nothing that we've gained
       by your false words
         and your un-kept promises of change
    that never seems to come
      when the campaign is said and done
         and no one has really won.
