History reflects a more dignified contest, even though pointed and truthful.


Candidates' Dignity

How did we get to this lowdown point?
Whose fault is it that we sink so low?
Why do candidates for high office

How do honor and integrity
become slime and filth?
From a pile of dung
we elect only one
our -President
undignified
scorned
?????
