THE WRONG WOMAN

Time for a woman president?
that's all the fourth estate can see.
They think that she's heaven sent.
God save us all from Hillary.

She was Secretary of State.
Do you not recall Benghazi?
She slept and left them to their fate.
God save us all from Hillary.

Not the first time she shifted blame,
an online video don't you see?
One more lie to preserve her fame.
God save us all from Hillary.

Then that convenient trip and fall,
another dodged controversy
to avoid Congress's call.
God save us all from Hillary.

E-mails only on a secure site?
How inconvenient that would be.
Whatever She does is deemed right.
God save us all from Hillary.

One hundred thousand bucks per speech,
how's that for income inequality?
Don't vote for this hypocrite, I beseech.
God save the world from Hillary.

Oh dear, you really hate her don't you? lol. I can't find fault in the title and how you display the reasons why you don't like her. You did that very well. Given that the last verse of the stanzas is a refrain, then the last stanza must be " God save us all from Hillary." instead of
"God save the world from Hillary."
3rd stanza line 2 it should be "online" one word , not two.

might be a bit strong. But I totally disagree with her policies and actions. Plus there's her arrogant assumption that she's somehow "owed" the office. She represents the epitome of the self perceived political ruling class in this country which is far, far from what our constitution envisioned.......end of rant lol.
As to poem. I think if I understand the contest instructions minor variances in the refrain are allowed so I made just one in order to emphasize my thought that her as press. would be bad for the world not just America. I'm also pretty sure the syllable count is off as well as the meter but I've grown weary of both and decided to just loosely follow form. Appreciate your visiting this political rant...........stan PS thanks for the "online" spot

one hundred percent right! All they see, is that we should have a woman President! They don't really care that she is not the right one! I'm still hoping for a miracle; that we come up with a candidate that is actually a reasonable facsimile of someone capable of doing the job! I'll deal with your poem later! LOL ~ Gee

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

About time we have a ____________(fill in the blank) president is far too familiar. We are still dealing with the media deciding it was about time we had a black president then deciding it didn't matter if he was qualified or not. Maybe it was/is time we have a black or woman president but let's, for God's sake, make sure they're up to doing the job well and Hillary has done Nothing to display she is up to the task.She and Bill have been plagued by scandals since Arkansas. As the wife of an adulterous pres she didn't have the integrity to divorce him (might hurt Her politically). As secretary of state she lied repeatedly to not just America but the whole world. Then to dodge responsibility she conveniently had a trip and fall to keep from testifying. Also, against regulations, used here private e-mail to conduct state dept. business then deleted anything she thought might embarrass her. God save us all from Hillary...stan

Hilarius poetic political campaign...the fact remains that no presidential candidate is found to be the right candidate by the opposition parties...

I am neither a democrat or republican. I'm a registered independent. It's a sorry commentary that the American political scene has reduce a great many people to voting Against the lesser of two evils for so long a time. I got to thinking about something to write about which wouldn't be my usual nature based stuff and a light went off.....what is more un-natural than politics? lol.........stan

A good protest write and I agree with the theme and thought process..
It is a sad world where the poor become poorer and the rulers are so wrapped up in themselves that this will not change.
Here in the UK we have MP's that fiddle their expenses, some are too old to be arrested and brought to task for crimes against children that has been going on for years.
The food banks are increasing day on day, and what are we faced with, MP's that no one wants to vote for, millionaires in politics that couldn't care a toss.
A man called Cromwell rid our nation of those idiots a long time ago, but there are new ones now that have to be gotten rid of.
During Cromwell's time in control, we had many things sorted out and a better nation evolved from his intervention.
I hear many things from your United States , If only they were, food coupons and much the same as we have here, a world power that cannot see that its power comes from the struggling's of its people.
It is now time to be civilised and be able to pick the best person for each job that needs doing, there is no way a peanut farmer should be president, or an actor, let me know if there is one you can say that would make that post work.
Not for me to do or say but for the American people to sort out, ASAP.
Yours Ian.

It's pretty obvious that she's already been anointed her party's candidate. Hopefully the repubs can put up a candidate capable of beating her. They'll have to be willing to fight because she's so power hungry and the media is so sold on her that they will be willing to use every dirty trick to win. Remember Harry Reids announcement on the senate floor that "word is out that Romney hasn't paid his taxes for years?" An obvious lie which the media ignored until the election was over.......stan

that's why I hate poitics. Sometimes I felt that true democracy is dead. The secret agendas. the obvious attacks on the opposition after they hve won over an area. They used the media to destroy their credibility. but if its the candidate from the ruling party wins, there wil be no media attacks whatsoever. Its happening everywhere. Its as if they are saying that whatever they do is right as long as they get the desired result.

politicians and not enough statesmen
