Election Day

Election 2016

It is finally here, Election Day!
We will vote to give our country away
To a women named Hillary who is deeply despised
Or a man named Donald who has been demonized
Neither is loved by their countrymen
Both of them lie time and again
Scandals and secrets follow them both
Yet one will eventually be taking the oath
For months we have listened to each make their case
Their vicious attacks to pump up their base
Television and radio ads spewing hate
With so many Americans taking the bait
No matter who wins, we will have to adjust
To a Commander and Chief the majority distrusts
A President that is seen as dishonest by most
Or named untrustworthy from coast to coast
So, no matter how the votes are returned
Or, who has the 270 electoral votes earned
The question that will always ensue
Is this really the best our country can do?
