ELECTION TIME

It seems to be a part of life, Near election's date,
To villify, decertify, Opposing candidates.
Researcher's given a fine-tooth comb, To search long hours each day,
An opposition candidate, And find some faulty ways.

A choice made in his younger days, He later would regret,
But did apologize and change, And thus absolved his debt.
But if no real change was made, That's a different line,
Was this distressful lesson learned, And change made soon in time?

Consider first - is there a need, Accusing him each day,
Grasping straws for mean attacks, When he has changed his ways?
Through this remorseful lesson learned, Has joined with volunteers,
Assisting in community, And working with his peers.
The challenge faced with lesson learned, may bring a wiser soul,
Into the halls of parliment, And help reach country's goals.
