It's Time!

Rebel! My children, rebel! For the light Of day scours for a system not built, But saved from the souls of politicians Who are lost and will never seem to find A means to a decision, instead delay The growth of a nation desperate for change! Rebel! My children, rebel! Against the Same, sorry scene captured on TV! Pundits protesting every agenda From the Left and the Right, what’s the purpose? To show me they can battle politics! Battle this! My mom just lost her house! Rebel! My children, rebel! How hard is It to cross a line? Or aisle? What if On the other side was your love in need? Put your pride away, just for awhile, Just to see the difference that could form. If not for me, do it for my children’s fate. Rebel! My children, rebel! America Is just not a name, but a foundation Made by the people and for the people! And we deserve so much more than a Filibuster to take our nation’s name. Let the light see the dawn of a new day!

And success is NOT an impossible mission. VOTE the filibusters out. Vote those who support our founding fathers in. Rebellion by vote!!! (That is if we still have one by the time the next election is due to take place...)
