I Can't Believe the Ignorance
By Franklin Price
7/31/2016
I can't believe the ignorance that in our candidates abounds
And how lacking in intelligence their conversation sounds
Both are an embarrassment from this observation made
Both make most our faces turn a deeper redder shade
One of them is subtle learned by years in Washington
The other is quite obvious and neither one is fun
One says what you want to hear whether true or not
The other spouts out stupid things and proves he doesn't care a lot
How is it that we got here, to create this place so wrong?
Through lack of interest by the parties. It's been going on so long
Disinterest in the last eight years; no handshakes 'cross the aisles
Nothing done of consequence, just check the laws and files
Many people thought the thought; nothing we can do of note
Why should we be involved at all, or go to the polls and vote
This has happened many years, longer than we'd like to think
Less voters to the polls each year, took this country to the brink
So much disenchantment with established party ways
That we picked a strange outsider to try to give us better days
He was outspoken from the start. Got media for free
Would make this country great again; the best for you and me
Ran as a Republican though didn't act as such
Enchanted many voters with his golden Midas touch
Brought in many voters; independents, RINOS too
Grasping for a welcome change for anything that's new
He won the nomination though he didn't make much sense
Better an outspoken ignorant than establishment that's dense
Now we have a liar and an ego maniac
I'm sure that either one that wins will have this country's back
