Poem
I see an angry country that is ready to explode, And if things don’t change it will happen and not much further down the road. I see a country that is not willing to give up its values and dreams, A country so tired of lies and politicians and their low handed schemes. I see a country that has had life good much too long, I see a country that is angry and that is ready to right so many wrongs. When I talk to a neighbor or I talk to a friend, The conversation always comes up about the way things are going and how they have got to end. There are many who think they are trying to lead us like sheep, They don’t want us to think or to make so much as a peep. We’ve had our T.E.A. parties and we’ve marched in the streets, But it hasn’t effected those in Washington they march to a different beat. I think it’s time they get, what the rest of us get, And no more special privileges will we permit. If they don’t do the job they were sent there to do, Then hand them a pink slip, if they don’t want to be a voice for me and for you. And one term limits ought to be enough time to get their ideas across, Any more time than that, they might start growing moss. And what about honesty and integrity does it have different values for them than it has for you and me . I don’t think Washington, Jefferson, or even Lincoln would approve if they were alive to see. The things that are transpiring in this country, the Land of Sweet Liberty, the Home of the Free. Are ways to manipulate good people like you and me. This country has had a rash of set backs as of late, And if we don’t start paying better attention and voicing our concerns, then we are liable to wind up with nothing to put on our plate. I firmly believe that we as a nation stand up and glorify Gods name above all else forever more, So that His almighty grace will spread across our land from shore to shore. God has not turned His back on us, we were the ones that walked away, And I pray to the almighty God that He forgives us this very day.
