Political Arena 2016

A rough year for politics
I’ve never seen the likes.
Hate balls and mudslinging,
And tag-teaming. Yikes.

I’m disliking politics
More than ever before.
‘Twere times I’ve endured it
But this goes to the core.

Egregious election,
Even more than hard ball.
This year’s downright evil;
Like savages, they maul.

I pray for the country’s sake.
Her future is at stake.
