Lord, I can’t
help but believe
Both candidates
are part of Your judgment
On the wicked morally
bankrupt nation that we’ve become
What a sorry
state we are in
The top two
candidates
Reflect the
state of our moral confusion
It’s more than
just ideological differences
It’s bigger
than choosing between left and right
Democrat or
Republican
We are a nation
divided
Even within our
political parties
We have
splintered and are spinning out of control
Can I just say
Trump was my number
17 choice
Out of a field
of 17 candidates
After his
nomination
I was depressed
In a quandary
as what to do
Over time
I accepted my
choices are limited
Trump, Clinton,
Johnson, Write-in or Not Vote
I asked the
question
Does Never
Hillary
Trump Never
Trump
The best thing
about Trump
He’s not
Hillary
The worst thing
about Trump, he’s himself
The campaigning
and debates revealed
Not just a
flawed candidate
But a man who
was morally bankrupt
Remember the
awful, wretched things he said
About the candidates,
their wives and families
Let’s not
forget the reporters and anyone else within range
The man has no
filter on his mouth
He speaks
before he thinks
Some find it
refreshing, I find it appalling
He brought the
discourse of debate
To a new
all-time low
Vile name
calling instead of focusing on issues
Boastful pride
and arrogance
Bragging of his
sexual conquests and body parts
He doesn’t
classify adultery as sin, but God does
Hillary feigns
outrage at Trump’s antics
But let’s not forget
Clinton’s corruption
Both personal and
professional
Over the years,
Hillary’s complicit in covering up
Not just Bill’s
sexual immorality
But shutting
down the women he’s sexually assaulted
Remember
Benghazi…what difference does it make
Was it incompetence
or negligence
That left four
Americans dead; and why the lies
Personal email
servers for convenience of course
Classified…what’s
that? Never received them
National
security at risk, all for what
State
Department and influence for sale to the highest bidder
Clinton
Foundation coffers grow by leaps and bounds
Got to cover
our tracks...delete, delete, delete
Corruption
long-lived and far reaching
The Justice
Department and FBI
Once agencies
of integrity, now aid and abet
Corruption
abounds
Moral
bankruptcy knows no bounds
Lord, what’s a
Christian to do?
Not vote? Men fought and died for that right
Vote for the
lesser of evils
Throw away my
vote with a write-in who won’t win
With all the
noise and rhetoric
I don’t know
how to vote
Lord, what
would you have me to do?
