Literature Text

Come cast your vote for Voldemort, the man who cannot die,
And join with all his followers to overlook his faults.
Invincible he is, they say, a fact that few deny,
For how can any man withstand such withering assaults?

His cruciatus strategy excels at causing pain.
The purity of bloodlines is his most important goal.
A chosen few have understood the key to his campaign:
Within his body dwells a mere one-seventh of a soul.

If Voldemort is not your type, accept another choice.
Vote Palpatine for emperor, and let his whims be laws.
The government will strengthen and the people will rejoice,
And this is how their freedom dies: with thunderous applause.

He's risen through the senate to a powerful position,
By much manipulation and deceit behind the scenes.
Beware to any person who supports his opposition:
You soon may find your planet has been blown to smithereens.

So vote and be aware that only one of them can lose.
Democracy's democracy, so take it on the chin.
And if you think there's any other candidate to choose,
Remember: in America, third parties never win.
This is what I think of Donald Trump facing off against Hillary Clinton in the general election. I wrote this before Ted Cruz began catching up to Trump in the primary, so if we're lucky this poem won't be relevant (or at least not as relevant) in November.

A "Republicans for Voldemort" bumper sticker actually exists. Someone ought to make a "Democrats for Palpatine" sticker to go along with it.
