Presidential race: A tale of two evils

My mind is in confusion, like driving in an unfamiliar area there’s a game of chance in the direction I take. The world has never been, and in my lifetime never will be, a safe haven for all. Core principles set aside, deception for personal gain, and half-truths for votes have become the norm.

Unconventional logic takes center stage and division is formed among the masses. Choice is muddled by print and commentaries leading us toward failure.

Their inability to cope grants us nothing, common sense enabling an imaginary point beyond justification of right and wrong. The better of two evils is awaiting our vote.

Who respects us? Who cares for us? These questions are still unanswered. The world is not that simple of a place anymore.
