What if I am to vote for my next President?
Solely based on his or her last name
To simplify whom to represent
My voice in the next shouting game
For I am a creative seeker
In hidden meanings I dig deeper
What if I base my sole vote?
On a candidate's stinger note
Rhyme of his or her family name
Sparking fires to my flame
Would I then vote for Mitt Romney?
Who is into me earning my own money?
Or current president Barack Obama
Who is into my opinionated mamma?
Well she likes him too a lot
She thinks he deservers a second lot
Or would I vote for Rick Santorum?
His mouth comes from my sanitarium
Or Newt Gingrich the Speaker
A cheater but not a wife beater
Then I am left with Ron Paul
Who seems to know it all?
Let me now recap
My presidential map
I have Greed, knowing, Sanatorium, and Delirium
Which one bids the highest for my dotted X this autumn?
My words are harsh and intentionally tough
For no one candidate really cares about us enough
The one goal: To get to the White House
Chameleon allies like a cheating spouse
Enough! Enough! Lying promises
I am a sucker for their artifices
This cycle repeats every four years
I shed no more wet or dry tears
I am abandoning this sinking ship
Its route masked with an iceberg hip
We all know the promises of the Titanic
Its rests in the depths of my panic
