The American Presidential Election

The American Presidential Election on 8th November 2016 Will determine the nation’s future policies and government Its candidates will qualify by caucuses and primaries successes And all most definitely with seriousness will give addresses Hillary Clinton is a democrat nominee and former first lady Barrack Obama’s Secretary of State who has husband Bill She’s 68 and wants more unions, childcare and research And promotes “clear-eyed capitalism” and partnerships’ thrills All the democrats are on for interacting with climate change And she’ll install a half billion solar panels no problem Every home will use renewable energy in some way And of the science of climate change she will be an emblem Bernie Saunders is a democratic socialist, 74 and with a heart For the Nordic political system, and so will tax the wealthy flat He’ll provide tuition-free education and change health care And of sick pay, paid vacations and woman’s rights he will blare But most daringly, he’ll regulate Wall Street, set it to law To ensure no crashes cause recessions cold and hard And please do note, most of the democrats will control that sector In some way, as it has played the volatile financial card Martin O’Malley is 52 and the Governor of Maryland Who stood before for candidacy and wants a living wage He’ll offer immigrants the right to education, not deportation And wants financial regulation, gun control and is on a caring page Ted Cruz is a republican and only 45, but is a Texas senator And like most republicans, is anti-abortion and dismisses gay rights He’s with capitalism and against extensive federal spending But seems to only patronise the Iraq and Afghanistan fights George Bush’s brother Jeb, the Governor of Florida, aged 62 Believes passionately in the Iraq invasion, open and rather blasé But he will increase KidCare and renewable energy by 25% Although he’ll dismantle affirmative action and slash criminal’s therapy And Donald Trump 71 is another republican, who seems like a ballon, Full of air and made of nothing: loud, brash and at risk of flatulence; He’s pro-life and will sit and watch a financial crash happen, being prepared And doesn't believe in taxing corporations that have too much affluence I won’t be laughing if Donald Trump becomes the president And would quietly like a woman to sit in the White House But I admit that I silently love Bernie Saunders and his socialism As I’m hoping for a democrat to curb discrimination and working classism
