Getting Much More Difficult
By Franklin Price
11/10/2019
It's getting much more difficult
When looking back to see
Just what our founding fathers
Meant for this changing place to be
They did not plan for royalty
Washington refused the crown
Now the attitudes upon the Hill
Would have us peons bowing down
The States were all to have their rights
Washington to have our backs
Now all of that is centralized
We can tell by Federal tax
Congress was meant to represent
Us all with little pay
To pass along State's needs and wants
That's no longer true today
They're controlling from the center
With but little spread around
And threaten the majority
If we try to make a sound
Money talks and Congress listens
The one percent are not the We
If We the People had some common sense
We'd cast our votes so they could see
Vote out the life long Congressmen
Our founders never planned for that
They leave the low cal milk for us
And skim off all the fat
Many of us crying out
Want a limit to their terms
Elections put that in our hands
Our right's to vote out all the worms
If we don't do our duties
And have our say at open polls
Then we deserve what's now in Washington
God help our foolish souls
