You Get What You Pay For

The people are afraid of the change they see coming, It is like the mask has been removed and the site is quite numbing. The way I was taught was that the elected official was to be the voice of the masses, But the ones we have elected now seem to be more like jackasses. They seem to be determined to bury us all, Bury us all with so much debt that it will be our downfall. How can they give away money they didn’t have in the first place? Personally I think they are only there for themselves and they’d cut off their own nose just to spite their face. The decisions they make are appalling and they say they are for our own good, Why are they changing things we’ve lived with for over two hundred years, maybe I just misunderstood. Could be I’m just too old and don’t want to change, Cause I will never accept things I know to be deranged. I was taught never to let someone force stuff on me that I know is wrong, And to me if it is not in the Bible it just doesn’t belong. Someday we will all stand in judgment of the things that we do, And I hope I have a front row seat when these politicians get everything they’ve got due

Keep the faith and do what is right in your heart. I think as we get older (like my husband said) we shake our heads at some of the decisions made by our politicians. God Bless Phyl

Hi Ronald I agree with your poem. We are supposed to be a christian country but not any more. God's values count for nothing now. Thats why we are in such a mess. Thank God He never changes. God Bless. Leon
