Notes About The Poem

Stand for the National Anthem, fly the stars and stripes, VOTE!!

 

Freedom

I have written the following to voice my opinion of what the United States of America is supposed to be, where it is now, and where it is going, if We the People, through the power of the vote, that the Constitution gives us, don't put people in office who will work to get us back to the plan our founding fathers set.

If you find, you believe the same, please make the thought go virile by sharing. 

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!

Freedom
By Franklin Price
10/16/2021

I'm sure that you have heard before
That freedom isn't free
It isn't automatic
For all of us to be

The founders of the U.S.A. 
To establish freedom's choice
Wrote the Constitution
Gave each citizen a voice

Formed a more perfect Union
To represent all States as one
To defend us from outsiders
That may put us to the gun

To establish common justice
Promote the welfare of us all
Establish liberty forever
Until we cause ourselves to fall

We the people, the electorate,
Choose the ones to represent
We're responsible to put them there
And how much time is spent

When we vote them there forever
Which was never meant to be
They lose sight of why they're there
And of  the voters, you and me.

They think we are know nothings
And our voting should be banned
They see themselves as royalty
We're are the serfs within their land

They take away our freedom
Because we've rubber stamped our votes
We vote for whom we recognize
And re-elect our Judas goats

They're leading us to slaughter
After shearing off our wool
Cannot believe a word they say
All that comes from them is bull

Lifers now in Washington
Are closing freedom's door
We must rid ourselves of them 
Or our freedom is no more

The new ones are not better
Want to take away our guns
Want to socialize our freedom
Giving all to everyone

That's not how our founders saw us
In those days they were alive
They provided us a country
Where everyone could thrive

All of us aren't millionaires
Only guaranteed the chance
Hard work and dedication
Puts the money in your pants

We must vote for the country
That our founders made that day
If we keep going on like this
All our freedom goes away
