Jake Aller Poet Political Verse

Is This the Best We Can Do

in a country of  335 million people
one of the richest more educated places
on the entire planet

the largest economy, 
the best military
still for now a democratic country

is this the best we can do
choose between three old white men
as our next leader
and the leader of the world ?

a clearly delusional  NYC ex reality TV star president
still talking about draining the swamp 
and fighting the evil deep state 
destroying the government in the process
as he and his cronies loot the country 

a gadfly Senator ex Brooklyn Jew from small town Vermont 
formenting radial revolution
yet failing to excite anyone but the young
and those falling behind 

and a professional politician who has been around for decades
calling to restore the old failed status quo 
saying that he can restore competence to the government
hoping that the third time is the famous charm

dear God if you exist
is this the best we can do?
nothing but silence
as God does not answer my plea
