It’s not hard to say who is really the best,
even though their ages stand out from the rest.
Old age is not always such a bad thing,
but one actually thinks he should be king.
The oldest may have bags beneath his eyes,
but the other spreads much hatred and lies.
One is truthful while the other’s not,
It’s not ok if you lie a lot.
What about the issue of freedom and Democracy?
Is it important, or are some full of hypocrisy?
The January 6th attack I will never forget,
the democracy assault was not a simple misstep.
How should we be acting toward our very new immigrants?
Try not building a fence and lose some of our arrogance.
Helping find some work for a few
is right and a fine thing to do.
The final vote will be close they say,
which candidate will win the day?
I cannot say,
but hope and pray
that freedom and democracy will win,
If not, an autocracy may begin.
