In oh sixteen we face a daunting choice
of who to lead our nation for some years.
How will we choose, the ones who give us voice?
Or else the ones who play upon our fears?
Now Hillary, less centrist than before
is talking of a future for us all.
But Bernie lifts his lamp beside the door
to futures where we peacefully stand tall.
Republicans of diverse faces stand,
a hydra for the most part, of one voice.
Diversity of faces may be grand
but withers with a paucity of choice.
Improvement for us all is what I choose,
and Democrats will help promote those views.
