Notes About The Poem

My view of what Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have to offer to the. United States of Americal. I'm saying who you should choose. What I am saying id think about choosing one of them. We cannot continue to elect people who care more about themselves than the people they are supposed to represent. These two don't think the same but at least they think differently than the do-nothing establishment.

The Parties

The Parties
By Franklin Price
2/23/2016

The Parties, and what they represent, are such a sight to see.
What they've done, this election time, seems very strange to me.

Allowed a presidential seeker to run as one of them
But when he starts to win, moves to rid themselves of him

The Democrat is Sanders. The Republican is Trump; 
Both taking party thinking down the drain and to the dump

What these two believe, is not what  the parties sought 
Yet the parties rolled the dice for the notoriety they brought

Should have looked at what they wished for; looked ahead for consequence,
To win is not the only thing, what was done should make some sense

Both parties good examples of winning at all cost,
If either of these seekers win, their party will have lost 

There must be something to these two; not the parties but the men 
Allowing we the people to think someone cares for us again.

Polls and primaries show, that we're giving them a  chance, 
To get out on the dance floor, give us hope and dance the dance.

The Party bands now playing are so sadly out of tune,
Not playing for the people,  let us fly them to the moon

Don't think we could be worse off,  listening to a different band,
May find we like to dance again bringing joy back to this land
