On The American Elections

Now that it is almost over, I could not resist a few lines on this election campaign

The US has become a laughing stock as the parties  went low down that lane

Commentators have written about  Evil and lesser Evil as the only choice

A tragedy when a super power cannot come out with a good or better voice

For Trump to represent the  Republicans  seemed at the beginning like a joke

But the joke ended up on the Democrats seeing that Trump was no bloke

The thrust of Obama and Michelle was needed to salvage the party’s  prestige

Having Hillary lose against Trump would be  a disaster they could never appease

In a few hours we will really know and may the Lord have mercy on this globe

Whether it is the evil or lesser evil who will run the show, we will all have to cope

For us Palestinians it does not matter any more another  disappointment

So we’ll simply watch as you lament your fate or rejoice with enjoyment
