Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

We the People must become more active and interested, in the majority, or this great country will go the way of the Roman empire. The United States of America was founded, and established, for a much better reason than the Roman Empire. Think about it.

 

Government By the People

Government by the People
By Franklin Price
2/4/2018

Government by the people
Is, at best, a fantasy
Politicians, by volition,
Know much more than you and me

Not there to represent us
Only there to have their say
They often lead us by the nose
If we fail to see their way

We the people, who elected them 
Are remiss, when at the polls
And  re-elect the useless egotists
Who rob us of our very souls

When their position there is threatened
They'll resort to anything
To keep themselves in Washington
Enjoying politician's bling.

Following the money
To get more for themselves
It's better than the rainbow's end 
With its pot of gold and elves

Don't think there's nothing we can do
Take some time to see who's best
Keep the ones who want the best for us
And vote out all the rest
