Politics

Caustic fears, Campaign smears, A candidate faking tears. Spewing lies, Employing spies, No one willing to compromise. Platforms, Reforms, Recruiting in college dorms. She’s a bore, He’s at war, No one knows what we’re fighting for. Take a stand, Shake a hand, Spreading rumors about the man. Red states Blue states Pregnant chads in debate. Filibust, Loosing trust, Does anyone really care about us? Socialized, Criticized, Citizens are polarized. Impeached, A promise breached, Nice lessons for us to teach. Pass the hat, Diplomat, Why didn’t I think of that? Politicians, Full of sins, In the end, who really wins?
