We must work together to end the killings.
It's a Shame
By Franklin price
7/17/2016
It's a shame where we have gone
Since the day of nine-one-one
Seems all we've done is taken sides
Evidently we're not done
Don't say that all lives matter
That's much too broad a stand
Might bring us all together
Bring some peace back to this land
Make no effort to negotiate
What is the best for all
Must choose a side on which to be
And at its beck and call
Republican or Democrat
Is a choice that we must make
Must take the apple offered
Provided by the slippery snake
Walk the planks of the minorities
Kiss the asses of the rich
Flush our Republic down the drain
Controlling interests are a *****
Don't say you haven't noticed
It has worsened day by day
As is presented by the media
Who try to make the news they say
Reporting so lop-sided
Whether Fox or CNN
Maybe truth is in the middle
Don't know where we should begin
The public better wake up
Should not believe the lies they tell
The undermining of authority
Will send this country straight to hell
