While I Am Still Here
March 11, 2016
In high school
Waking up to political jabs
Before I go to school
People mocking for what they don't understand
Republicans and Democrats
Liberals and Conservative
Which one to choose
We have got everything to lose
Our way of life
Everything we know
Kids turning 18
You hope that we vote
Who is there to choose
Trump or Hillary
Either way we lose
Blame the Mexicans and send some emails too
But who am I to say
All of the candidates stink
Ruining America
What is left for us
