Nation drowns in turmoil

All fight to get their way

Compromise lays spoiled

All progress is delayed

Action keeps on lagging

From overdose of spite

All the voters gagging

Must overcome the blight

Distraction is a trick

We fall for every day

So focus on your pick

Do not let focus sway

Keep pushing for debate

List options to discuss

Bar any talk of hate

And compromise a must

Demand respectful talk

We each must follow through

Not time for us to balk

Our nation must renew
