Political Curd

Disclaimer- I am not racist and see all sides of everything.  I don’t represent either political party.  I am more, disheartened by the hatred floating around.  This poem is more so a description of what I see, when I look at Americans and how they react to politics... over the last decade..



Why are we so angry over one single dude
A womanizer, perhaps, vulgar and crude

But at the end of the day, he's only a man
A perverted senior citizen with the winning hand

A dishonest politician is not a new fad
And alternative opinions are not always bad

8 years ago we thought the world was ending
Or were convinced of a change, a new beginning 
I'm still the same
Politics still lame
My casted vote, indefinitely, pending

So, tell me, which side do you take
A baby killer or one accused of rape

And if you disagree, how should you act
Paint vaginas on your face for a presidential attack
Grinning ear to ear for a social media snack 
But it's all roses now, the last one was black 
Am I making sense, or way off track

Please, my neighbors, don't take me wrong 
I wouldn't breathe a word of our country's song
Forget the soldiers, their fame is gone
Set fire to our flag and move to Hong Kong

No, I don't believe in killing babies or raping women
But I've tasted so much, I can't tell pepper from cinnamon 
If you think you know it all, my darling, you're trippin 
So can we please just resume the scheduled program of living
