Hillary Trump (Political Acrostic)

by IdTakeABulletForYou   Jul 8, 2016


Hell exists, though you don't see
it in a book or on tv,
lingering where it needs to be.
Lying toward Presidency.

A disaster can have a face.
Rebuke this evil, for this race
you'll find will set the world ablaze.

Tragedy can have a name,
ruling the world like it's a game.
Under the surface, you're ashamed
many more checkmarks said the same.

Please don't vote for the lesser of two evils.

(in reference to Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump, the first letter of each line spells out their first and last name, consecutively.)

    Well done, America is in a very sticky situation. You portrayed it perfectly.

      Yes, unfortunately most Americans buy into the whole "You only get to choose between these two candidates", when that's not the reality of it, and that's barely democracy at all, especially when the candidates are very nearly always wealthy. It ends up being more of an Oligarchy.

      Thank you for reading, and I hope more people adopt your mindset!

    I agree with this poem in a very strong stance. I'm fearful of how this will all go. The next 4 years could be very difficult for us after this election. Either way, this poem is well done and saturated in truth.

    Nice poem. I like the way you rhymed the last word in each sentence of each paragraph.

      Lol, just realized I put an extra "L" line in there. Oh well, it gets the point across...tic. Hah! Edits have been made!

      Thanks again for reading, and I am as dissatisfied as you are with the options in this race, and the fact that so many people are considering it. Where is the refresh button on the candidate pool!? Lol, but anyway, hope you're well!

      I didn't realize how many regulars were from the UK until I posted this and realized it's mostly irrelevant to a great majority of everyone! Goodness! Thanks for reading, anyway, glad you enjoyed it :-)

      Much love,
