The Main Event

Two men a fierce heated battle will wage Tonight from a nationally televised stage Both will be filled with the best of intent And the need to score points in this glorious event Political rhetoric will be out front and center As they bob and weave and jab, parry and banter Points will be tallied off audience applause For self-serving interpretations of this great country's laws.  Although both will claim that they have the answer  To our nation's current geopolitical cancer Neither will overly stir up the pot Or stray too far from their own voting block Gay rights, global warming, and the NRA Will be used to leverage political sway Inflation, taxation, accusation, contrition Will be bloodied and battered beyond recognition.  But promises made don't mean promises kept And when broken, does it matter if you're right or you're left Let's remember the pledge that still governs us all "Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
