Negative Politics

Negative Politics
By Franklin Price
2/10/2016

Negative politics are more
Since primaries have begun
To say someone is worse than you
Somehow is much more fun

It's not what you've accomplished
How you've gotten where you are
But your opponents' negatives  
That have gotten them this far

Doesn't matter when it happened
Could have been a fluke of birth
As long as it is negative
It has to have some worth

Negative preferred by media
They don't know when to stop
Underhanded insinuation
Will bring their ratings to the top

Blame it on the public
Who enjoy watching the fall
Murder, drugs and politics
Anything that will appall

Playing hooky when in high school
Cheating on a college test
Not voting for a foolish bill
Bragging on the family crest

Not being raised in poverty
To have to bring themselves along
Forgetting to place their hand on chest
For the national anthem song

For the many things they may have done
For which they might repent
Having nothing to do to qualify
To be our president

Voters, think of your exposure
Evaluate all you hear and see
Don't let the negative politics 
Elect the president to be
