Ambition, to politicians, is like powerful drugs,
We’re shown clean hands but most resemble slugs.
Seems It’s more of the same with every election,
And this years field typifies a dingbat collection.
Catering to lobbyist while with voters patronizing,
They can’t seem to agree on where the sun is rising.
Each has an agenda and firmly set in these ways,
A socialist wants free stuff and the wealthy pays.
America is a country where opportunity is rife,
We’ve become a fractured nation, thus inducing strife.
“Well done is better than well said”
Benjamin Franklin
