Now

 I used to love election days.

        Now they make me sick.

I used to love reading and watching news coverage.

Now it makes me sick.

I used to accept and respect political opponents.

Now they make me sick.

I used to have pride in the progression from bigotry and greed toward 

liberty and justice.

Now greed and bigotry are wrapped in the flag.

It makes me sick.

Now they say they’ll ban vaccines if elected.

It’ll make us all sick.

But not as sick as they are now.
