Every Four Years
Every four years a president is chosen with an election,
allowing citizens to choose a candidate to their satisfaction.
By design, it’s a legal way to choose one’s representation,
this is important to help sustain a democratic continuation.
One of the problems with the process is political deception,
some candidates are only dedicated to winning for domination.
You must ponder the wisdom behind political devotion,
a witness to the politician's whims over their population.
This funding from special interest groups is a complication,
it’s the test of moral leadership because of a bent obligation.
Education and awareness is important for distinction,
because voting gives rise to a positive transformation.
Sadly it’s the hope to elect someone who is an exception,
one concerned more for the people and not a corporation.
