Underdog

I do not like you,
I could write a thousand words,
But then I'd be inviting you,
To stir in my thoughts

I'd rather root for the underdog,
That cares about others,
That doesn't discriminate,
Seeks peace, not war, that frowns on hate

When election day arrives,
As an American citizen I'll abide,
To voting on rules and policies and politicians,
I want the future to break ground,
I don't want another one of histories renditions.

Which one do you perceive as the underdog? I think right now it's about 50 50 on who is going to win it!! I hope you are describing the same underdog I am thinking of.

I hope so too! Obama(underdog)..no politician is perfect..but he doesn't give me the scumbag vibe. Not everyone will agree, but that's ok.
