I Can't Believe the Hatred By Franklin Price 11/08/2019 I can't believe the hatred that runs rampant through this land The supply of it astounding, far exceeding all demand All because of politics, it's so hard to understand It's not even natural, it's mass produced and canned However it has happened, it's the forefront for us all With instant access from the net, always at our beck and call The masses now participate, all this dislike standing tall Was love for freedom got us here, this hate will be our fall We fought for independence, at least our founders did Now we're the sheep who follow, who mostly go where we are bid We've given up our freedoms, and our voices have been hid It's time we closed Pandora's box and put back on the lid Republicans and Democrats are not the who we are Our government not royalty to bow to from afar Our duty is to cast them out, when they're not up to par The needs of We the People should be the only followed star Don't let your independent voice add to this hate filled source Use it, don't abuse it, to help change this nation's course Speak to your fellow citizens, We the people are the force To help end this harmful hatred, you must dismount from your horse Offer your hand in friendship, begin to walk the extra mile, Open your ears to listen, with mind open, for awhile Think before responding, open with a sincere smile Don't think that you know everything, there are other rank and file. Don't be a politician, unless you are one of the few Then listen to the people, do what they would have you do They are the ones who put you there, and they can oust you too Work to stop this foolish hatred, bring love and freedom back in view.
