Seek

There is a kind of man I'd like to see
(Though it could be a woman, have no doubt
Who sees ahead by probability
And carefully does not rule bad things out,
But plans for them, and curates, while he can
The good he would protect from such a harm,
Who knows his limits like a humble man
But has the pride to sometimes bet the farm
When he is sure and odds are on his side,
Who loves his country, but can see her flaws
And grapple with them honestly, whose wide
Far-reaching mind is bound within the laws.
I'd vote for him (or her); as I have done.
And now tonight I'll know if he has won.
