Dark Horse
Looking for a dark horse,
come riding out of the blue,
who wouldn't want a dark horse,
teach us a thing or two?
Locked in perpetual struggle,
two sides of the same coin.
No one worthy in all of politics,
except to profit and purloin.
It's all a game of connection,
that tends to favor party hacks.
Need for intelligence and wisdom,
that every candidate clearly lacks.
Money greases the skids,
of every political move.
It seems the only way to slide,
is within a party groove.
Tired of stately favorite sons,
and those by dynasty ordained.
Tired of those who buy with riches,
as though wealth, power proclaimed.
Looking for a dark horse,
with no prior political acclaim.
From the heartland of honesty,
with no axes ground to flame.
Back to the purpose of the people,
and not the skewed parties' planks.
One who will carry the torch of change,
not a platform of shady pranks.
To face each situation fairly,
not kowtowing to the party line.
Someone who will defy Congress,
when it wastes the peoples' time.
Someone humble, courteous and kind.
Not pumped up, pompous and mean,
powered by money, ego and false fame.
Listening carefully to every legitimate claim.
With built-in leadership abilities,
that can inspire all citizens' hearts,
not someone on an ego power trip,
concerned more with pop poll charts.
Looking for that dark horse,
to come riding into view.
I would vote for a dark horse,
certainly… wouldn't you?

When it wastes the peoples' time
With no prior political acclaim
Looking a dark horse
with its rider a trumpeter!
Well done, Ron!
Does a horse by the name of "The Donald" ring a bell?
But then, as you have told me, I have a calcified brain.
