There was discord across the land
What to do, what to do?
How to make the left or right choice that would define the path of a future?
Based on the war of words it was inevitable not to pick a side
Experience versus bombastic rhetoric versus lies versus truths versus you’re wrong versus I’m right
Further fodder from the smear campaigns created snowballs tumbling down the avalanche of confusion as well
How did we get to this moment as the world looked upon our folly?
Superpower amongst nations and here we were hosting a circus with an orange clown and that unlikable teacher we all remember
Some felt both choices were not right in this three ring spectacle
Others were pretty adamant about their selection
Some decided it was best not to participate in the game but that was akin to whispering in a crowd of noise – ineffective
Some felt it was best to choose neither and go with the independent thinkers
That resembled eating just one French fry – it would leave you with a good taste in your mouth but it would never be enough to bring satisfaction
So between orange clown and mean teacher many sat observing the antics of the show
Some people were entertained by the clown
Some couldn’t look beyond the stern teacher who was rigid and unyielding
I made my choice early on and I have no regrets
I never liked clowns…
…and even my most unlikable teachers always taught me something
