At the party's Progressive Agenda, tailor-made to block
   The candidacy of anyone who can't check these boxes

Barefoot you reach 
for candidacy to
    get partitioned.
    The hatred had divided
the grass.

    The suspense
was intense when
    earth failed to
accept the-
defeat.

    A drinking-
cloud will settle 
    the score with 
the flames.

    Consequently the-
  sky falls on 
all the roses, making
  your vision blurred.

And shuddered as I thought,

But I was not prepared
For the frenzy of the faithful;
Now I’m more than slightly scared....

In governance, a digital grace?

As codes converge with human lore,
We ponder paths never trod before.
When silicon dreams aspire high,
In public office, will they vie?...

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....
