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
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
