Now Is The Hour 08 Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Now is the hour.08

When choosing a new president.
Some things you aren’t allowed to know.
By long established precedent,
the candidates will only show

What they believe will convince you
they have no past sins to conceal.
Although it’s patently untrue
as their opponents will reveal.

No politician’s innocent
although they all profess to be.
The question are they competent
is the important one for me

Some vote from party loyalty
and some to voice their discontent.
Still others ruled by apathy
by default choose the president.

The president can only serve
if the majority agree.
The get the man that you deserve
So when you vote choose carefully.

So put your prejudice aside
discount your partly loyalty
This is your chance you must decide
what is the best for your country.
