Shape of the Nation

Shape Of The Nation (an oval precaution) News outlets draw the line at racism Pencil gray, color blind and crayons ready Fantasies replace triangles, circles and square deals Pentagons, hexagons, octagons where born to serve Here today gone tomorrow with the curve Will never shape up to political correctness Or move into the oval office in any way shape or form The people saw dangling chads in Florida Hanging like spots before their eyes Circular, uncounted votes remembered Dots drop like spots before their eyes May have to be recounted once again this November News paper lines run up and down with lies This election season is no less political Etched like Escher paintings Stairs that go up and down for no reason There are 2 parallel lines aligned side by side Redundant on the horizon as simple black stripes With a vertical one joined at the middle At the center of attention to form an “H” For Hilary rising A female that Mr. "T" calls crooked Emails can not be erased by media twists Even with BleachBit It is a simple precaution though To roll into the oval office *Note: (A Link to Escher works of art) http://www.bing.com/search?q=escher+paintings&qs=HS&pq=escher+&sc=8-7&sp=2&cvid=9E3983FDB1E54B90BAE4130918F3D096&FORM=QBLH

I'm old enough to recall a only a small handful of elections, but I find it odd that this election cycle isn't about politics or differences in policy at all. Its all just a battle over who has the ugliest (or least ugly) character. How are these our "chosen" representatives? What a sham.

BTW, I really enjoyed your perspective on the whole fiasco. Cleverly worded and creatively expressed, so nicely done.
