Shutting down the government is just another example of the theme of this poem. Vote the bastards out......both parties.... they only care about themselves, not We th People.
Governmental Fools
By Franklin Price
1/20/2018
The President, House and Senate
Mostly made of stupid fools
The parties they belong to,
Not each person, makes the rules.
Few of them are willing
To reach across the aisle
Only flip a single finger
As they disagree and smile
No middle ground for which to strive
Must follow party rules
Or won't get re-elected
By party oriented fools
If they want to stay in office
And get funded for their run
The billionaires that give to them
Aren't contributing for fun
They must kiss another's ass
To be elected once again
Not getting rich, by holding office,
Would be an inner beltway sin
To hell with “We the People”
From week to week we live
Barely make enough to be on line
With nothing left to give
We the people took it in our hands
Elected a President of hope
After all this is the life we lead
Not a scripted daytime soap
He's not a politician
He's just a billionaire
Doesn't need the Party's money
To politicians that's not fair
We threw him in this dismal swamp
This non-beholden guy,
Not preferred by either Party,
His non-beholdenness is why
Neither works with this new President,
For, if his plans work in the least,
We the People may just can the lot
For we awoke the sleeping beast
To hell with what the people want
Let Illegals have their way
Don't build a wall so more may come
Let sanctuary cities stay
The economy is better
Unemployment numbers down
Stock market's at its highest
ISIS run right out of town
Who knows what else could happen
If congress reached across the aisle
With a full and honest handshake
Not a finger flip and smile
