Notes About The Poem
We need to elect people to the Federal Government that understand the Constitution to which they pledge to honor and protect.
Many Have Forgotten
Many Have Forgotten

Many have forgotten why the U.S.A. is grand,
How our founding fathers saw it, why they worked so hard and planned
Why they formed the Constitution, that was good for many years
What Representatives, do with it now, should bring us all to tears.
The preamble's there for starters, summarizes reasons why
We have a central government; not, as now, to be so high.
Was supposed to be a union of the several separate states,
How they would work together, to determine common fates.
Among those, common justice, common peace between them all,
Defense for the common good, common welfare was the call.
Secure liberty for all and those who come along
Controlling all, from Washington, Constitutionally, is wrong.
Those were then the reasons, the Constitution's words were penned.
The hows and whys to do it went from there until the end.
In the years that followed, we are now in century three,
The Constitution, of our fathers, has been lost for you and me.
The establishment in Washington, whom we the people sent,
The Congress, (House and Senate), and yes, the President,
Think they can control us, make us bow and kiss their ring.
The Constitution says that's not allowed, royalty is not our thing.
Election time is coming, time to take our country back,
Rescue the Constitution from the whole self-serving pack.
