Election 2016

Fading presence of a stranger, People warn me of the danger, Broken promises full of truth, Debates held faults at the root. One ballot in your favour, One ballot I can savor, Was mine counted I wonder, Who will win I ponder. Explosions and walls erected, Some happy he was selected, People crying and rejoicing, Flags burning as they sing. Will he keep his words? Will his promises turn to birds? Will this blindness fade? Will I see past the shade? One evil, one evil I shout out, Only two choices I can count, Together we are broken, Sanity remains as a token.
