It's time we the people stood up on our hind legs and became pit bulls to those we elected to serve us in Washington. It has been too long since we have done that. They are not our royalty.
Congress was Elected
By Franklin Price
1/23/2019
Congress was elected
For the people of their state
To follow selfish party lines,
Degrades this country's fate
Be seated there because you care
Listen to constituents
Respond only to, who elected you,
Not inconsequential incidents
There as a representative
Not as one who stands alone
Not as a prince or princess
Who may ascend unto the throne
Don't think you are George Washington
Whom many wanted as the king
He refused, what makes you think,
We will bow and kiss your ring?
The populous is waking up
No longer buying what you sell
Start fighting for your people
Or they'll ring your ending bell
