The shame that is our government; of, by and for the people. We the people allowed it to happen.
Confused By Franklin Price 11/5/2016 I'm really quite confused About the chosen few Who run our Federal Government And the things they say and do How they got there in the first place How they climbed the ladder up How they went with best intentions Then found they could fill the cup Could make more than their salary If they responded to the pitch Now that they were in the beltway And were noticed by the rich They are still elected By the voters at the poll Are supposed to be there for us Instead of being on the dole Supposed to be a public servant Paid more than living wage If found they're taking pay-offs Should be put within a cage There's a problem with that thinking If we removed all of the crooks Would be few left there in Washington To put the laws within the books Would be few left there to serve us To pass along the people's say Must be crazy here to say that They don't do that anyway
