Poem
Our Forefathers By Franklin Price 3/3/2016 Our forefathers built this country. They placed their faith in God. They pledged to give their lives for it, All lay now 'neath the sod. You can bet they're rolling over. Seeing now what we have done Many in the name of Jesus, the Ghost, the Father and the Son This Country's still the country. It's still the U.S.A. Politicians think they know it all. I think God still has a say. You think the checks and balances, in the Constitution's just for fun? I think that God helped put them there to resolve the things that we have done If they were made use of, by the Congress that's a flop Would not be headed towards the bottom, would be rising towards the top We're in a mess and quandary over who will be the one, Of who will be the president, who will guide us towards the sun The people trying to make their choice, by voting who they they will, Are being blocked by the do-nothings, that are sitting on the hill Seems the Parties have forgotten that the people have a say. Ever think that God is guiding us, to save us one more day? Should be getting on our knees and folding hands to say a prayer Or are we believers of convenience? To have faith, we would not dare. For sure it's not the first time and I pray it's not the last That the people standing for themselves say, “Parties not so fast!” You are not the government. You only represent. Don't forget who sent you there, and you haven't made a dent No matter who we vote for, to move us up the hill Don't vote for Party worshipers; with them we've had our fill. We the people are the government, can choose for ourselves again Tired of the political system, flushing the U.S. down the drain I'm thinking this will work out. In the past it always did Must find a way to make it happen, to leave God's country for our kids
