Now is the hour 08

Narrative verse

 

 

Now is the hour. 08

 

When choosing a new president.

Some things you aren’t allowed to know.

By long established precedent,

 the candidates will only show

 

What they believe will convince you

 they have no past sins to conceal.

Although it’s patently untrue

 as their opponents will reveal.

 

No politician’s innocent

although they all profess to be.

The question are they competent

is the important one for me

 

Some vote from party loyalty

 and some to voice their discontent.

Still others ruled by apathy

 by default choose the president.

 

The president can only serve

if the majority agree.

The get the man that you deserve

So when you vote choose carefully.

 

So put your prejudice aside

 discount your partly loyalty

This is your chance you must decide

what is the best for your country.

Very insightful piece of work. People had better take heed to what you've said because this country is one heck of a wreck right now.
