A Republican or Democratic,  I'd like to make this note....No matter who the players are, they rarely change their coat  They close their eyes, take a deep breath, then hold their nose and vote

This ditty has been brewing for some time , I'll have you know
I try to keep it witty, as I write it blow by blow,
" The world is all a stage " when it comes to the election
I find it most dramatic with it's recent insurrections
If Shakespeare were alive he would find it most amusing 
But he'd write a farce and call it, "Much ado about accusing "
Like the Jerry Springer TV show
Each player acting out
Obtrusive and abusive, is what it's all about!


"The time has come the Walrus said to talk of many things"
Of politics and Caucuses, of Chauvinists and kings
I may be mixing metaphors but must talk about these things. 
I'm not the kind of girl who condones man, or woman-hater
I recognize we're different and embrace our different natures. 


 I try not to focus on political agendas
I prefer to keep it neutral with my blog, my art , more tender..
But where misogyny 's concerned, I will be the great defender.
It's not so much 'bout feminism as pro-equality
I'm not the kind of woman to preach Misanthropy.


The game of "Call my bluff " was played 
When Trump first started Trumping 
He likes to bully women and give migrants a good thumping. 
Self declared Misogynist with a few Suckers in his pocket
He's bribing angry white men with prejudice on the docket.


He may know what he's doing when it comes to money matters
But acting like a President?
Woah! He'll bring the country down to tatters.
"Let's make America great again" is just a synonym 
For "Let's make America white again, and bring repression to our women


The email's are a smoke screen, and the concept of a wall
To keep out Spanish immigrants, well that won't help at all
We need the word "Inclusion " to be part of politics
We don't need the confusion of a right wing crucifix 


Abortion, guns and worship are things we love to hate 
Yet years ago in Europe, we divided Church and State
But somehow it"s full frontal on the US ballot slate 
Elizabeth the First , when she was Queen anoint
Quote, " I will not have God used as a weapon to score points"


Plus I fail to see the politics twist gun safety and gun point.
The clowns in the NRA  all seem to miss the point 


Now Hillary and Bernie are of a different species
At which the staunch republicans throw proverbial mud and feces
Yet as radical as Bernie is, with all his new ideas
There's plenty youngsters out there who'd vote "Bernie" with their peers


Hillary is leading with the delegates she can muster
Yet  opponents dislike her, because they cannot trust her
This thing about her emails seems blown out of proportion
To compliment the twisted myths and stories of contortion
That raise their ugly heads around the period of election
Opposing sides disguise their warts with smoke screens and distortion


I have the greatest admiration for Mark Sater, ( ref McCain)
Who despite his brand of politics, has chosen to refrain
From voting for his party because of his disgust
With Trump and his associates, a change of vote's a must
When faced with problematic choice to compromise his ethos
He chose the way of Solomon, to prevent the utter chaos
And sacrificed his vote for the good of this great land 
To save her from the fatal sword
He drew "Line in the sand " 


I can't say I am either, 'cus I'm not allowed to vote
A Republican or Democratic, but I'd like to make this note
No matter who the players are, they rarely change their coat
They close their eyes, take a deep breath, then hold their nose and vote 


Surely moderate Republicans with any self respect
Would not choose to vote for Trump as President elect?
I encourage you emphatically to think outside the box
Ignore the likes of Limbaugh and the rhetoric from FOX


After Trump in Indiana, became presumptive nominee
A prominent Bush supporter, named Keith Hennessey
Declared his opposition describing Mr Trump
As "Ignorant, unprincipled, opposed to small government"
"Not only, I won't work for him, I'll continue to oppose him"
Said Tony Fratto, Treasurer, who certainly never chose him
Chris Christie, he is hoping for Vice President elect
Plus there's others who's ambition overrides their self respect


So all the world's a circus when it comes to politics
So I guess you take your chances 
When you choose between the Tricks 
How do we look to others, from the outside in? 
May the force be with you, and your vote be genuine ;)

Well done Susie! Great use of voice to appeal to the outrageousness, urgency, and complicated nature of our current political state. If only everyone's sense of reason was do intact as to trump Trump with such wit.
