Check the Facts

what have we come to when we have to read the fine print after all the talk,
who is telling the truth?
the twelve million jobs, the five point plan, the mother in Alabama,
the one who did not have insurance, the college student afraid for his future,
they both have white teeth and make-up.
the wealthy, the middle-class, the immigrants, women
who still make less than 75 cents for every dollar a man makes,
which man stands behind her?
I can answer that question and it's not the white man, you know
the one in the dark suit and the American flag on his breast,
the one who donates so much money to charity, not
mentioning which one.
Yes, we have to fact check, but I still know what box
I will fill in on my ballot.
