The Debate Began

Now the debate will soon begin And both side want to desperately win. The debate is now on The candidates have already been drawn, One debater is prepared with his notes And with his memory and his receipts and his quotes, The other debater is prepared with his propaganda and lies and fear Knowing that is what the people he believes wants to hear. One debater is a con and also a user And a liar and a cheated and a abuser, While the other debater is caring and good hearted Confusion and facts has now started. One screams out hate and rumors and lies While the other lets out shrugs and sighs, One makes promises that they cannot or will not keep In their mind misinformation does always seep. One debater is honest and true And they speak with integrity to both me and you, And they do not curse or mock or belittle To no one do they seek an acquittal. One takes credits for actions and laws they never achieved Unto the voters they want their lies believed, And one shows and proves the laws that they had passed When by the moderator they both are asked. When the debate is finished and all over And one participant is looking over their shoulder, Thinking of the final cost Because, they know that debate they had honestly lost. Now they swear and they lie and they judge and curse And they act the worse, Saying and screaming the debate was rigged and unfair As they pull at their hair. They were easily and soundly defeated Now they mock and provoke and scream they were cheated Because, they didn't abide or adhered to the stated rules, They then prove that insults, becomes the losers tools.
