Of the people I know And the people I see All want to be happy All want to be free Of organizations, clubs, and groups Forcing their opinions Through political loops To the masses their way is right Preaching their peace through a superior fight Religion, race, color, and creed All to fill an empty need Right wing, left wing, republican or radical Reformist, anarchist or arsonist Socialist, communist and lobbyist Or………………………… Liar ! No matter what group you belong You’ve given your soul for hire Your part of a click Playing a game Learning the trick To belong………you have to get along Strength in numbers, masses with the same idea All with the agenda of wanting to be free One common goal To put the other click in the hole Do yourself a favor Be your own click Have your own thoughts and ideas To yourself be true It’s yourself that you please Things are never what they seem But to be part of a group with common goals Is the ideal dream Just never lose yourself in the idea Let it work for you, not the other way around Eric (and sometimes not)

I am honored you think that. I am not a politician nor would I fit in with the corruption that reigns. I am very simple in my approach to life. Theres right and theres wrong, there is no gray. Thank you for your vote though.

If they took all the bulls--t in Washington and sent it to the heartland, they would save billions on fertilizer. Congrats Eric (and sometimes not) on your poem being featured on Poetry Soup. Vince
