Stemwinder ... Fly

Today's word is "stemwinder" ... STEM-WAHYN-der ... Older Slang. a rousing speech, especially a stirring political address. (Dictionary.com)

Fly
We're waiting for a stemwinder,
To help make up our minds,
Someone who'll inspire,
Not put us in a bind.

Looking back and forth,
Between our choices here,
Might just make you nervous,
Might fill you full of fear.

But take the longer view,
We're here for just a blink,
We will live another day,
If we don't quit or shrink.
