A Worthless Piece of Paper
A Worthless Piece Of Paper
240 years ago
A paper was written
Signed by intelligent men
Casting out an imperial king
It created a country
The likes of which the world had never seen
Gave every person rights
To life, liberty and happiness
But, that was so long ago
Over time it has changed
Watered down and corrupted
Politicians have twisted it
Warped it to fit their needs
To benefit the rich
And punish the poor
A paper that used to be a national treasure
Now, it is a joke
Not worth the paper it was written on
And that is how it will remain
As long as people won’t stand up
And be counted
