Campaign Code Words Poem by Stanley Cooper

“Change, ” a key-word in this presidential campaign
But change to what, they don’t explain
Change for better or for worse?
How will it affect the tax-payers purse?

“Experience, ” another word thrown about
It’s what they’ll use to bail us out
From the mess it got us into
Our answer, “No Thank You”

The phrase, “less words, more action”
Intends to render satisfaction
These catch-words voiced with ease
Keep thoughtful voters most displeased

To speak on issues should be their selection
In this upcoming presidential election
If they would only say what’s true
That would be something truly new

Personality, race and gender
Seems that’s all they have to tender
If leader’s are chosen in this way
No wonder our world’s in disarray
