Ted Rubio Or Marco Cruz? Poem by Govind Ramakrishnan

Ted Rubio Or Marco Cruz?

Rating: 4.1


At this stage
Either
Ted Rubio or Marco Cruz
Could be
The GOP nominee

Both policy inexperienced
One-time Senators
Who appear seemingly
Interchangeable

Quick to twist facts,
And rapidly morphing
From an issues perspective
Into the same person,
Confusing donors and voters
Alike

Can America afford
Another one-time senator?

an outsider cannot get in this game they get to be fore-players going nowhere, but it is close they will tell us and the bad new leader will just barely slip by, as Amerika dies and your voting did not count

This is what I love about great poetry. Summarizing so much and so well, what could be in prose a multitude of pages. This poem is a Knock Out, so well and clearly written. The Truth comes thru beautifully. Congratulations! PS Consolation and good example: At least if we have lousy politicians, we also have some very good poets.

Great poem! We definitely cannot afford any one-time senators at this stage in the election process, actually never, because we need strong candidates with conviction and the mind to go against those who have been established for so many years. Loved this poem! 10++ Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
