The up-and-down battle for the White House - pure torture - a poem.
Lathered-up souls
Can take their rebuke
Of Trump's candidacy
To the house this election.
And people looking for an alternative
Can pray for either Johnson, Stein, or Clinton -
The frontrunner...

Meanwhile, most will mark
The turning of the calendar
With nearly no hope
Of a satisfying outcome. 

The population of undecideds, moderates,
And independents
May or may not settle on Trump
As the choice
For fiscal change
And policy solutions... 

But there are those who feel
We mustn't entertain notions
About global strength
And lasting opportunities
With the other options.
