Future's Fate

Election days are quite important

Our future's now at stake.

But after several months of this...

My head begins to ache!

It's “I hate this, and that's a lie”

“It's time for someone new.”

It's said that neither candidate...

Has even got a clue!

I'm sick of all this squabbling

This rhetoric must cease.

I long for just a little bit...

Of electoral peace!

The Facebook pages come alive

With postings for the eye.

And later we will all find out...

That most were just a lie!

Republicans and Democrats

All fishing for your votes.

While Elephant and Donkey art...

Turns voters into goats!

They've turned a process made to give

The country it's best choice.

Into a three ring circus act...

Where everyone has voice.

I think I'll wait and listen for

The candidates debate.

To then decide what vote I'll cast...

To determine future's fate.

 

 

 

It won't be based on Tweet or Post

 

Or a catchy TV ad.

 

To base my future on a rant...

 

Would actually... be quite sad.

 

 

 

 

I'll do what I percieve is best

 

For the red and white and blue.

 

I'll disregard the poppycock...

 

America.....What say you?
