We Are the Power

Look out your window And what do you see A land of beauty And all in purpose is free Conglomerates all over They grind and they mine Who tells them to take What is yours so defined Elections must change For tomorrows today As we are the people And our thoughts you must say Be in power As we have granted you grace But we are the power To remove you of place If you can't be upstanding Especially, from where you came from We will know you as weak When you thought you were strong For we are the people Your bosses we are If you do whats right We will allow you to star? http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life-2.php

I wish the elected officials would remember we are their "bosses." Once elected, our voices fall on deaf ears. This is a powerful political write, my friend. I didn't realize this was the case in Scotland as well. Well, we're looking forward to voting a lot of people out of Congress, state legislatures and governorships. It can't happen soon enough! Vince would like this one too! Love, Carolyn

So easy to say but not so easy to do when once they reach that position of power they morph into the one that stood before! why is that...great write James very thought provoking....Allie
