Now Mitt the Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan Were engaged in serious competition The president must be decided by election And they were up against Barak the Obama and his running mate Joe Biden The ultimate prize to occupy the white house For a week many did cast their ballot In the end they totalled a lot Many had to wait in long lines But for them that was fine The day came for them to express their choice This was giving the people a voice At the end of the day the polls did close But long lines a challenge did pose The right to vote no one would be denied Of his constitutional right disenfranchised And so two, three, four, five, six hours they waited Waiting their vote to cast But oh for life in this age of technology The age of instant savvy For while some waited others proceeded Yes one boasted for whom his vote he would cast yes as loudly he boasted an announcement was made The election has benn called and your man lost While some waited in line their ballot to cast

About this poem:
I thought the Americans would have done things better than in Jamaica.
I voted for a third party candidate Gary Johnson. I found out he pushed the vote towards Obama like Ralph Nader did in 2000 that cost Al Gore the election. I only waited about three minutes to vote because I went early. The blacks are happy that Obama is still their president. They say ignorance is bliss, so I'll let them be happy, even if they're being duped again.
