Who is the presidential candidate?
The man called Donald Trump
Is he the champion of the people?
Or is he a bully and a chump
Is he the only person?
That can save us from ourselves
Is he a snake oil salesman?
Trying to convince us that there are elves
He is a walking slogan
He is a person and he is a brand
Can we afford to take the chance?
By putting him in command
Will Donald use diplomacy?
Use graciousness or aplomb
We must remember that the president
Has the release code to the bomb
Do people really believe?
Everything that he says
Does it correlate?
To what’s going on in their heads
He says that a wall on the border
Is an effective solution
There’s not one word about Global warming
Or reducing industrial pollution
If Donald Trump is elected
Will it trigger a violent revolution?
The people who are listening to him
Say they are sick and they’re tired
The system is not working for them
And they want somebody fired
Is excluding all migrants
Really a sensible idea
Or is it simply politicised hatred
Generating resentment and fear
Is ending dialog with other nations
Really the right way to go?
When you need them and ask for their help
Don’t be surprised when they say No
He says he is the only person
That will stop Mexican migration
Are his supporters star struck by him
Or is it curious fascination
He says only he has all the answers
To the problems that don’t even exist
He has stated on many occasions
His methods are a check book or his fist
Is being forceful and uncompromising
When it comes to law and order
Really effective or even achievable
Remember streets don’t have any borders
Is Donald Trump serious?
Is Donald Trump for real?
What is he prepared to take away from us?
To make sure he seals the deal
He says that he is a winner
That he does not know how to lose
He says that he’s already got this race won
But that is your privilege to choose
