The 2016 Presidential election in these United States is the most important in American history. Heaven help us, we have two nakedly-ambitious candidates and a refreshing and visionary, yet big-odds-against, third. So I called upon all my acrostical skills to convey the embedded message: AMBITION FORCES US TO TAKE STOCK.

The words:

Rising AMBITION makes one thing so clear
Ideological FORCES adhere
Siphoning lifeblood and rubbing US raw
Sinking significance down TO a shwa
Knowledge of power can TAKE us so far
Kow-tow to no one and STOCK every shard

Finally, a humble request to the Great Undecided: Please vote for Bernie Sanders.
