Romney Poem by Justin Reamer

Romney

Rating: 3.5


Dear Governor Romney,

Tell me, sir,
What will you do with this country
That will make you any better than Obama?
I mean, good sir, Obama
May have screwed up the country quite a bit,
And has not helped people much,
And has only helped people with Health Care,
(Which I admit I must admire) ,
But what will you do that
Will make this country better?

I mean, yes, your opponent is incompetent,
And that I will agree,
But what will you do that is different,
And will make this country a better place?

Obama did not get us all jobs,
And he did not help the economy,
And, in fact, he raised taxes,
And that made a lot of Americans angry.

So, good sir, what are you going
To do that is different from
Your opponent the incumbent?
Are you going to get us jobs?
Are you going to protect our freedoms?
Are you going to help us succeed in life?
Will you help us students who
Cannot pay off federal loans right away?
Are you going to help the poor,
Who are in need of money just
As much as all of the other Americans?
What will you do,
Besides protect the Freedom of Religion
And the First Amendment?

You are not an ableist, are you?
So you will not judge me just
Because I have Asperger's,
Tourette's, and ADD?
Will you help my people
Get their jobs and
Fulfil their dreams
And get out of the way
Of prejudice?
Or, do you not care at all?

Do you believe in helping the poor,
Who are unemployed,
Who need employment to survive,
So that they can have a better quality of life?

Are you a homophobe,
Who believes that gays should
Have no rights at all,
And should not fall in love,
And devote themselves to one another,
In love of the form of agape?

Are you a racist,
Who believes that Hispanics should have no rights,
That Orientals are just stupid,
And that African Americans are just dumb
And should go back to slavery?

Are you a sexist
Who believes that
Women belong in the kitchen,
And in the house,
And should not have a job
That they are willing to work for?

Well, sir, if you are any of those,
My friend, you will not receive my vote,
For I am not a sexist,
An Anti-Semitist,
An Anti-Catholic,
A racist,
A homophobe,
Or an ableist,
And my goal in life is
To get equality for all people
Who wish to work for something greater
Beyond themselves,
And I will fight ableism,
As I have dealt with it in the past,
And I will fight for my students,
As I work as a teacher of Special Education.

Sir, I hope you know what you are doing,
For I am hesitant about voting for you,
And I don't like either you
Or your opponent,
And I am hesitant about the lesser evil,
For if you are the lesser evil,
You may receive my vote,
But if not,
You can say Sayonara,
And have a good day.

So, may God bless you
In this presidential election,
And may you have a great day,
For I know that someone will win,
But we'll see what happens
When history moves on forward.
