The Quest for the Spotlight

Title: The Quest for the Spotlight

Enter the RNC debate stage, alive with political might,
A battleground of ideas, electrified with light.
Yet, one figure is missing, absent from the scene,
The flamboyant front-runner, who reigns in the routine.

Down to four participants, each with conviction firm,
Exchanging heated words, trying to affirm
Their visions for America, their plans and their might,
Yearning for the chance to bask in the spotlight.

Oh Trump, where art thou, with your boisterous voice?
Your absence stirs excitement, yet leaves us with no choice.
To focus on the others, striving to make their mark,
Seeking to convince voters, shining in the dark.

As Cruz takes the stage, his rhetoric comes alive,
With passionate speeches, his words begin to thrive.
Kasich stands beside him, his moderate stance clear,
Hoping to attract those who seek someone sincere.

Rubio steps forward, a youthful burst of fire,
Challenging the establishment, his aims climb higher.
His charisma enchants, his stories captivating,
Trying to seize the moment, his voice resonating.

With each passing verse, the tension starts to mount,
As candidates debate, emotions tightly wound.
The quest for the spotlight intensifies with each speech,
As they strive to demonstrate their values they beseech.

On this RNC stage, where dreams and hopes compete,
The search continues, for the ultimate feat.
A front-runner may emerge, seizing the grand prize,
Or perhaps, this time, the truth will still disguise.
