CAMPAIGN BLITZ<\/p>\n

Get ready for a one-month blitz,
\nIt’s a game where nobody quits.
\nYes, on the left and on the right,
\nJust one bloody campaign fight.<\/p>\n

Pull out the big guns & cast dirt,
\nSo your opponent you can hurt.
\nFill your ads with some huge lies,
\nSo the other guy voters despise.<\/p>\n

Smear ’em good, give no chance,
\nPeople won’t give them a glance.
\nSpend lots of money to be heard,
\nEven if your claims are so absurd.<\/p>\n

Bury him deep so he won’t survive,
\nYou are left standing alone & alive.
\nIndeed, campaign season is here,
\nWhen they want to tickle your ear.<\/p>\n

All year long they don’t care at all,
\nHow it changes when arrives Fall.
\nSuddenly your problems they see,
\nSuch hypocrites, don’t you agree?<\/p>\n

All they desire is to get your vote,
\nAbout what they did they all gloat.
\nMaking promises they won’t keep,
\nBut are you really still so asleep?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
