These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Persepolis Sonnet: "The Choice"

A meal will come three times a day with choices.
A leader leads three years among the voices.
A meal unliked is changed within mere minutes.
Some leaders make opponents quickly grimace.

Your steak will satisfy the tummy's yearning.
Great leaders bless the money you are earning.
Raw eggs are rotten when in water floating.
Corrupt ones know not voters after voting.

"Our Constitution's made for faithful folk.
Religion guides the ones, who know the way.
It cannot curb the rebel's awful heart."
In hopelessness, our voting's quite a joke
to those who'd lead and make us them obey.
Return us, God, to leaders from our start!

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
(President John Adams)
