Popular Vote

Attending class in hopes to escape the middle

Known to skip a lesson for a party

I gathered knowledge doing that too

Elephants caused a stampede

Stomping out donkeys who were untrue

Archaic notions attached themselves to colors

What happened to an allegiance to values?

Victory went to the red

Sweeping the blue

Power shifts cause a stir, leaving everyone questioning their rights

This often leads to bloodshed, wars, and fights

Nothing goes unnoticed

Balances must be checked

The popular vote was tallied and tolled

A loss is bad enough, for your sake you should’ve tried to go out with respect

Does the electoral college teach that subject?
