We must be very careful not to have a repeat of the last eight years where the losers did all they could not to cooperate with the winners...The American Way....NOT!
Shame on You
By Franklin Price
1/22/2017
Shame on you who disrespect
The law that rules this land.
That's right, the constitution
And things for which it stands
Therein, defined the U.S.A.
And what we are about,
Our liberties and rights in life;
That we're not us without.
Defines who's there to govern us,
The complete election way,
The many checks and balances,
That protect the voters' say.
To disagree when losing,
To demonstrate and shout,
Well within your rights to do,
But legally you're out
The President, not who he was,
Now the leader of the land.
The Constitution put him there.
What part don't you understand?
The electorate has spoken;
Whether it is right or wrong.
He is our only President.
Let us try to get along.
Give this President a chance;
Enough to see what he will do.
We always can impeach him.
That's in the Constitution too.
The past eight years a lesson:
Disrespect along the way,
And efforts, not to get along,
Find us where we are today.
