I Was Home Again
By Franklin Price
10/15/2017
I was home again, been many years
Almost a couple score
From Vietnam in '69
Now thought a useless war.
We the people still divided
Can't decide our country's call
Many are the conflicts here
Will the U.S. rise or fall?
Seems to me, not much has changed
Though many years have passed
Money buys what happens
The partys stupid and outclassed
Other wars have come and gone
None of them the people's voice
The richest made them happen
They bought the govermental choice
The Constitution's much ignored
By the Congress and the POTUS
Can't trust a thing that either says
I'm hereby, putting them on notice
Neither party's for the people
Have agendas for themselves
Take all the things the people need
And put them up on shelves
Each must get the credit
It's something they won't try to share
Change your ways and reach across
The aisle, I double dare
You see I've changed my rhetoric
Made it much more juvenile
Maybe now you'll understand it
Haven't been adults for quite awhile
