Political Insanity
Convictions are won, when a candidate sums
up the ills that need fixing. Since we're hoping and thinking
of another Abe Lincoln…., but instead we are gettin'
the dumb and the dumber
But, I must mark my ballot...., and hardly can bear it
I'm unable to choose…..What to do? What to do?
I step into the booth.....either choice...and we lose
They have spewed out the dirt..Both candidates scrambled
Every issue they skirt, means a vote is a gamble!
The speeches are fishy.....filled of washy and wishy
They bash out and lash out, and need to do laundry!
They blame their opponents...while making proponents
Ridiculous claims, and lack any shame
It's only a game…for winning the fame
So what should I do? Once again, we are screwed
Who should I vote for....from two I deplore?
While they cover their asses....I'll take off my glasses
Should I make my vote blind, and hope they'll do fine?
Pin the tail on a donkey…..? Or do elephants fly?
I must vote in the morning,…..and by evening I'll cry
