Of the People

Our future he impacts
Social issues he just stacks

He gives educators the axe
Keeps piling the load on our backs
His stance on illegal immigrants lacks

He took a loose stance on tax
Mud slung, he seldom retracts
From his vantage point he acts

Lives in a mansion while we live in shacks
 Lots of promises, few facts
