Best Candidates Poems

The highest office in our land will soon be decided.
Opponents spar, both tooth and nail; reputations derided.
“Just look at his voting record,” said one brash candidate. 
“His radical positions are so quick to desecrate.
Promptly, and viciously, his opponent fired right back,
With a profane, demeaning, and...

They promised us voters
All manner of pleasant solace
As this manifesto witnesses;
And to show our reliance
We implored them to denounce
Older forms of dishonesty
With charity appreciable by view

They and each of them
And all their ilk even
Swore to buy our support
In gross and in detail
And so on and...

For those who agree that love is success
and hate is failure,
some admittedly unsolicited advice
from low-income and retired voter trenches:

1. Do not only run as AntiTrumpian.
Trumpianism means no more or less than
AntiPolycultural HealthyWealth
of and for Restoring Justice and Peace,
so just leave off the "anti"
by positive turning...

Incredible Candidates

They say that a candidate named Fiorini
Happens to think that she is a Houdini
But what she is liable to pull out of a hat
Is destined to led us into mortal combat.

Then there is Trump thinking he can be
Quite entertaining and piece of curiosity
With eloquent...

Evaluate the Candidates
By Franklin Price

Evaluate the candidates
Listen well to what they say
While remembering when Congress works
The country runs its way

The chief executive is not the one
Making laws to seal our fates
Congress is where that is done
The president administrates

Of course there is the veto
When the Pres...

The candidates for world dominance 

The contenders who want to sit on the highest branch on the tree of power should 
not be elected because they want it too badly
Theirs are a grab for dominance for its own sake and if lucky the book of...

If you’re voting for Santorum
We really must address
Those sweaters – why he wore ‘em
Is anybody’s guess

If voting for a Newt
Remember what he’s been
A D.C. political suit
Do we want him there again

A vote for Texas Perry
Is a right-wing conservative vote
But think now and be wary
Of the...

To Have Fun With the Candidates
By Franklin Price
1/25/2015

To have fun with the candidates
Should not cause any fuss
For after all most every day
They're having fun with us

Trump is a real playing card
Ted would like to Cruz to a win
Jeb's just beating 'round the Bush
Rubio thinks he's...

I need to break out, I need to break through,
It’s all about me and squat about you.
Lord let me shine, put me to test
Show them my mettle, my very true best.

I’m in this to win, don’t stand in my way,
I’ve always been great to make...

People's leaders wish to be

Their country aspire to save

Justice for all they declare

Deception's road only pave!

Skills for best qualified candidates
for healthy democratic leadership
on my Ultra-NonViolent
WinEgo/WinEco-bicameral short list
for 20/20 revisioning

During a global climate challenge
and multiculturally-felt crisis
of left-hemisphere risk
of further red dominance
and right-hemisphere opportunity
of integral blue/green Earth-health potential:

1. Commitment to,
and demonstrated experience with,
blending and harmonizing win/win dialogue
within a resonant multicultural collective
of interdependently...

Hey, democratic candidates – 
Forget campaigns, forget debates.
Just toss your names into a hat,
Let Nancy pick and that is that!

The only way to win the fight
Is for all people to unite
Whose goal is simply to prevent
A reelection we’ll lament.

So Joe or Bernie, Liz or Pete,
Amy,...

You got a vote in your hand 
You got human right
You got justice
You got a will
At this very moment
Everything is in your hands 
At your fingertips
But you become hesitate
The candidates are strange to you
Political campaign is only a glimpse
Canvassing is unbelievable 
You have no reference
There...

Remember
In September
Or October
To register
To vote
In November
Write a reminder sticky note
To do so, like your life
Depends on it.  Bring your ID
To the polls. Encourage your wife
Encourage your husband. That’s a good idea
Encourage your children. That’s great
Encourage your friends and neighbors
Talk to even strangers
About the importance...
