CINQUAIN & the variations on Cinquain-Wikipedia

Voting across the world seems to have become a dangerous divide. With social trolling, smear campaigns, and some ruthless politicians, it can be difficult to make an informed decision. In this new attack mode on global elections, it’s important that we as voters, must do our homework before casting our votes instead of taking everything we hear from those who shout loudest. We’re encouraged to vote for our favorites, sometimes following the masses, when we should be looking for the best policies and and agendas before deciding on a candidate. In a world where capitalistic greed dominates for personal gain, I suggest we’re better off taking a look at what we don’t want from a candidate to avoid becoming blind to those who offer sugar coated promises.
It’s often said, may the best man win.
Everyone carries a blemish.
Diligence imperative.
Take pause, weed out the rot.
Before committing
Eliminate
The dangers.
Cast vote.
Pray.
