Presidential Election

Context: I saw a presidential election when I was a kid.


Once, was a clear world

Where there were good zipaps
Who were rich and cleanly
And bad wretched flinkops

Zipaps, they always won
Because they were heroes
Against the big bad ones
The dark evil flinkops

Then, there was a strange time
There were two on a stage
Border Control, Taxes,
and Foreign Policy

Then talk and shout they did
And I was confused then,
Like a soccer game, weird,
if the players wore same

For I could not see clear light
Muddled, with many bulbs
I looked at my zipaps
Fighting against flinkops

And of the two I saw
Of who was which and where,
In a noisy, gray world
Was what I could not tell
