DON'T VOTE!

I've got friends on the left, and I've friends on the right

I've got friends with a great libertarian plight

Of not having a candidate perfectly suited

To implement instantly everything rooted

In policy preferences seen as ideal

So they offer a statement that's simply surreal.

A phrase that they like to repeatedly claim -

That all of their choices are simply the same.

A rhetoric running now rampant and wild

That says 'cause our choices are too tame and mild,

A stand we should take - and the rest I do quote -

"The best choice of all is to simply NOT VOTE!"

Both candidates suffer big money donations

So surely they're equal in needing damnations

As issues exist where they both are remiss

Then everything else they will simply dismiss

But in tax codes and health care and energy sources

For millions of people the outcome of course is

No trivial matter they just can ignore

For they deeply impact all their lives to the core

Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security

Tested by ideological purity

FEMA and help to the poor through food aid

One candidate strengthens, the other would raid.

One views these programs as social contracts

The other as means to extract for more tax

breaks for status quo wealthy at any expense.

The other guy thinks this just makes no damn sense.

One will undo real accomplished big missions

And quickly return pre-existing conditions.

The other stands firm in these patient protections

Rather than health care through ER collections.

Rights of women is something that one would ensure.

The other would weaken and fully obscure

From day one all the progress that women have gained

And sign legislation to keep them restrained.

The candidate paying just 13 percent

Has balls to ask where all the tax money went.

Entitlements all - he says we must cut

As he lives in extreme economic self glut

The election DOES matter, the differences glaring

No matter the claims some are generally swearing.

For millions of people the stakes are quite high

To say any different is simply a lie.

So on who wins the ballots contested so fierce,

Illusion of similar outcomes let's pierce...

Or if you prefer this deceit to promote

Then sure, by all means, then really DON"T VOTE!
