Political

The votes counted
More ballots were founded
Voters in record numbers
Political sites, lots of funders

Plenty of unrest
Opposing sides, candidates at their best
Can we work together 
Solutions instead of division. Oh, that's clever.

Taking sides, talking battles
Criticizing, interruptions, so much, it rattles
Working together
Sounds better

Political choices
The prople's voices
Demonstations, people shouting
Others doubting 
Signs are made
They're not getting paid

Choices, confusion ensues
Who doesn't have the blues
The protestors march
Walking under the arch
Lots to say
Their cause will stay
