Your Excellency

The facade of your election; Brings no accolade to the nation; Your ambitions lack honesty; And your actions are a travesty. You travel abroad to collect honors; Yet you ravel the region with horrors; Some describe your style as canny; Yet all ascribe your rule as tyranny. With only your candidacy; We have the ascendancy of autocracy; We lack the decency of democracy; We observe the supremacy of idiocy.

You hit a home run with this write, Safari! Why even bother to hold an election if there is only "one candidate." That's not democracy. As you point it, it's a "facade" engaged in by one with only self interests at heart. Great form and rhyme scheme, too. I hope a lot of readers check this poem out! Love, Carolyn
