Election Integrity

Election Integrity By Franklin Price 11/10/2015 Election integrity Just what could that mean? Has been a few elections Since much of that we've seen Been all about the parties And the people they have sent Not much about the voters Democracy has come and went The voters don't go to the polls What good would their vote do? Candidates follow money Do not wear the voters' shoes When an ethical and caring man Or woman comes our way The money does not follow What good are they to pay? The country's needs they may address Regardless how the rich may feel For the capitalistic elitists Would not be the best of deals Money buys the media Was there ever any doubt? When money meets integrity That's what it's all about If many give a little To support the honest few Something good could happen It's the least that we could do To the voters I have this to say If someone caring comes along Give them a little and cast your vote To stay away would be so wrong
