THE CANDIDATE

by Lucille Gang Shulklapper

Obama vs. Romney 2012

In the flashes on TV, embassies aflame, our president he’ll blame, in his speeches made with forked tongue, his lies fact- checked are flung, with no apology to you and me, for undermining our Commander-in-Chief and our belief, in the expertise of the diplomatic corps, and all they give their lives for.  While the Secretary of State meets hate on Middle Eastern  streets, Romney speaks and inflames as much as the video he disclaims, and I worry about the danger he imposes, and the attacks he proposes, right here in the USA, on our own government every day. 


Lucille Gang Shulklapper is a teacher, poet, fiction writer, mother, grandmother.
