If

If By Franklin Price 10/15/2016 If someone told you years ago We'd be in the state we're in If they said it would be such a mess To solve none would dare begin If All in Washington buried heads And would no decision make No chance that they would rock the boat Are corrupt and on the take If a crass and far outspoken man Said he would show the way To make America great again Would you invite him in to stay If not there is the status quo Involved thirty years or more Helped put us in the state we're in Still opening the door If you throw your hands up high Refuse to cast your vote You contribute to the problem In fact you're a perp of note If you were never interested Now's the time you must confess Time to take a stand right now To alleviate this mess If incumbents in the congress Were voted out this year Would be a giant step forward Would help make the cloudy clear If both houses did their jobs Rose up and took a stand Wouldn't matter much who's president Now wouldn't that be grand
