Where will his all stop? Parties and organizations preach the Constitution when it's to their advantage. When that doesn't work for them, they ignore it, and do almost anything to win. Wher is government, of by and for the people?
To the Ignorant in Chicago
By Franklin Price
3/12/2016
To the ignorant in Chicago and their organizers too,
Who gathered to cause mayhem, 'cause the Trump is not for you
That was not the way to do it. The way I now will note
Travel to the polls and have your say; give another one your vote
I know the first amendment; you've probably heard about it too
Tells of some rights and privileges that we have the right to do
Maybe you should read it and let the words sink in your head.
You may assemble PEACEABLY; not come for fear and dread
You may make your voices heard. The first amendment says that too
But to gather there for trouble, is not your right to do
Use that energy more constructively; be the vote who was the straw.
The straw that broke the camel's back, do not disobey the law.
Use your effort, voice and gathering to push the one for you
Convince as many as you can that they should like them too
Then go to the polls and vote. It's not your right to stay away.
The one who gets the majority will be the winner polling day
You can riot all you want, that really doesn't get things done
Democracy doesn't work that way; though you may think it's fun.
If you follow organizers who think disruption's part of it
That's not in the Constitution; not even just a bit.
