November 2010 Election: My Take in Verse

Major Jester
Times in turmoil, the people speak:
"We have to have change!"
But whose way should we seek?

All sides claim that the others will destroy:
"This is the country we need!"
Becomes the battle cry of each ploy.

The hopefuls shout out for our approval:
"Pick me! I'm so much better than him."
Many, however, want only their removal.

The choices we hope this time are quite clear:
Choose the country you want
Then vote the principles to which you adhere.

    Y'all get over the infighting and pick me for Heaven's sake. Barack CLAIMED he'd fix it all. I will actually do it, but man o man will some whiners cry a lot, but at least it'll be fixed, right? Nice Major.

    Still trying to decide here in Maine. Looks like I'll be holding my nose while voting.
