Chester Arthur

Chester Arthur, son of the preacher.
Son, God is your teacher.
Slavery is wrong and must end.
We must fight its growing trend.

Chester Arthur, young Whig.
Who would have thought you'd be so big?
Fight the dissenters in a brawl,
But what difference does it make at the end of it all?

Chester Arthur, young lawyer.
Elizabeth Jennings had wrongs against her.
A black woman on the public trolley?
Fight for her rights, end this folly.

Chester Arthur, Brigadier General.
Organizing New York for the Army Federal.
The Union must fight the rebel uprising,
And your hard work and command is surprising.

Chester Arthur, Conkling machine cog.
You're on Roscoe's leash like a dog.
Work at the Port of New York as Collector.
Don't fight the system in your current life chapter.

Chester Arthur, Vice President.
Working against the White House resident.
Garfield was shot and killed though.
It seems Conkling owns the Executive, although...

Chester Arthur, US President.
Make Roscoe Conkling no more than a peasant.
The Pendleton Civil Service Act is passed,
And you kicked the spoils systems' ass!

Chester Arthur, who now?
Fade into obscurity, you may not bow.
No one knows you anymore.
You're stuck with Millard Fillmore.
