Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Political Supposition

Political Supposition
By Franklin Price
1/10/2015

Suppose that a billionaire rich guy
Worth maybe a billion or six
With an ego as big as this country
Saw it was broken and needed a fix

Was willing to use his own fortune
To go where he thought it should be
To have a say in how it should get there
To fund his own presidency

Also suppose that this rich guy
Was already a celebrity man 
With a need to control all around him
Aspirations that could make you a fan

Not afraid to voice his opinions
Say outrageous things right to your face
Do you think such a man could move mountains
To help the U.S. again find it's place?

Would such a man if he made it
Be unable to control or refrain
 To listen because of his ego 
Do stupid things to send us on down the drain?

Do you like where we are at this moment?
Do you think we are where we should be?
The establishment now in the capitol
Have done nothing at all I can see

This rich man for sure is not like them
Is a force that could change everything
They're afraid of this man with the money
Who as an outsider could be the king.
