Either Be Leader Or An Idiot

Either Be Leader or an Idiot

Candidate was found dead in their tracks.
Knowing they were doomed ended up
being exhumed. Then after their death
voters started making way for a very
knowledgeable candidate who had
wiser things to say. 


My mind likes being leader of the pack
And not ever finding itself further back
Hope to never end up in the very end
Or me to White House have to send.

All candidates appear to be loose-lipped 
Yet messages they manage to encrypt
Up with anything do not seem to line
Meaning your guess is as good as mine.

Instead of being some leading stallion
You became lost in a whole battalion
And then as usual without any fail
Would end up taking the wrong trail.

So why be perturbed when you perceived
By another candidate again were deceived
Found fate to be full of doom and gloom
And you became an idiot ready to bloom.
