Just Because You say It
By Franklin Price 
11/19/2017

Just because you say it
Doesn't always make it so
Jumping on the wagon
Doesn't always mean you know

What's happening to our justice
Where guilt requires proof
Heresay and outright lying
Is going through the roof

What's happening to our country
And our body politic
All these finger pointers,
Spotlight seekers, make me sick

Few, if any, journalists
Are proving as they learned
Ratings must be highest
Even if the truth is spurned

What happened to a trial by peers
For innocence or guilt
Now the sword is drawn
And it's driven to the hilt

We no longer work together
All the rules are out the door
If you don't think the way we do
We'll smear your name some more

Be cautious when you throw the stones
Be sure your past is clear
And those of your ancestors
For at least a thousand years

Money can find anything
And pay for people's lies
And twist the truth to benefit
Those people we despise

It's not for We the People
How the government is run
It's  for power, wealth, postion
That's why nothing much gets done
