Vote for...

 




The candidates are fighting

 

Over how this country’s run

 

They say they know what’s best for us

 

They don’t like, what the other’s done

 


They represent division

 

God, knows we don’t need that

 

But then again, God’s not allowed

 

In schools, in courts, or war’s combat.

 


They preach equality

 

But someone else must pay

 

So take more from the rich

They don’t deserve it anyway

 


Give your hard earned cash

 

To someone who’s in need

 

Let the government decide

 

So they tax you till you bleed

 


Kill babies in womb

 

It’s the mother’s choice

 

Why not use their cells for good

 

Give those, lost souls, some small voice

 


Our children go to war

 

Sent to foreign battle grounds

 

They vote to send them off

 

Then they vote more funding down

 


How can we decide?

 

Who’s right and who is wrong?

 

Is there someone in-between?

 

To make our country strong!

 


You say that you don’t like them

 

Mr. Bush or ol’ Kerry….

 

Then don’t waste your time on Election Day;

 

Write in a vote for me.



Patricia Gibson-Williams

Author notes

It’s a little known fact
outside of certain circles
(like my house)
but I’m running for president.
This poem explains why you should vote for me.

    I guess I should have made it more clear here... they can try to tax the rich all they want, dut do you know who's going to pay? The middle class. We will end up paying so the poor can have things we can't afford. The rich will just find loopholes or move to another country. It's not their problem. Most of the truly rich people I know don't even own half of their stuff, their business does. When you see someone driving a BMW do you really think most of them own it? My husband and are barely making it (We are nowhere near the top 5% let alone 2%) and now Kerry want's to take back the few dollers extra that Bush gave us. And then he's going to use it to fix so many things that it's impossible for him to do with such a small amount of money. If I was going to Vote for anyone it wouldn't be Kerry.

    A very well written poem. I'm a pretty staunch Democrat but if you tell me that you are a democrat... you might be able to sway my vote. Hee hee! I really liked this poem... it was well written and very thoughtful. I'm glad that people are getting in the voting spirit this time of year

    lol cute, very cute. I am gonna vote for myself, not on the people. I'm going to vote on the issues. You and I have a little different ideals but the fact is we both don't like Bush or kerry... I like this a lot. Good luck in the contest!!
