Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Two Thousand Sixteen's Coming

Two Thousand Sixteen's Coming
By Franklin Price
4/21/2015

Two thousand sixteen's coming
It's not that far away
Politicians from the woodwork
Are coming out to play

Posing and expounding
Until their breaths are spent
On the negatives of others
As they run for president

It's not the things for which they stand
Or the good things that they did
It's the bad things of their opponent 
As a stupid teenage kid

There's no recollection out of bounds
How far fetched to mind it seems
It may not have even happened
May have come to them in dreams

While you're deciding how to vote
Listen closely clear your mind
Search for one who speaks of self
Maybe one of them you'll find

If you do and they make sense
Plans for the populous
Get behind push them along
Climb on the campaign bus

This searching is the hardest job
For which anyone applies
For politicians fool us
Put blinders on our eyes

Blinders are for horses
Not for presidential races
Look closely at the candidates
And for their second faces

Jaycee Cervenka April 21, 2015 at 11:19 AM I like your message here. It's not for any candidate or party, it's just a pay attention to who you are voting for. And yes, they all seem to have more than one face, but some of those masks hide more lies than we need. Glad you posted and I decided to stop and read. ~Jan Franklin Price April 21, 2015 at 1:48 PM Janet, thanks for reading my poem and having a real appreciation for why I wrote it. We need to be careful to choose the best of the worst. I personally don't believe that any of them are there for us and our best interests if it conflicts with their best interests. Thanks again.
