Number Four

Many founding fathers from whom to choose,

Who have influenced my political views.

James Madison, the fourth president,

Relevant amidst today’s discontent.

The father of the Bill of Rights,

Penned after many sleepless nights.

I’d invite him over for a home-cooked meal,

And to his intellect, I would appeal.

Asking how to fix this broken nation,

Preparing myself for an awesome oration.

An intelligent man with a brilliant mind,

Such wisdom today is a rare find.

He’d be disgusted with the current state,

Today’s government he would deprecate.

His critical concepts ignored and discarded,

Constitutional rights so easily disregarded.

So-called “leaders” altogether self-serving,

Of citizens’ support, they’re wholly undeserving.

The United States now mired in fascism,

Poisoned by politicians’ dangerous elitism.

With a time machine, I’d fetch him hither,

To help this country as it continues to wither.
