Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The House of Representatives, the Senate and the Administration in Washington, appear to believe they are royalty and that the few can make non-representative decisions for the many.

The Federal government was set up to be a central place for all the states to be represented to make laws and decisions that  affected all the people; not to control everything. We need to re-re-establish the basis for that.

Not Just Another Thursday

Not Just Another Thursday
By Franklin Price
07/04/2024

It's not just another Thursday
It's the fourth day of July
Celebrating independence
These few words will tell you why

Our founding fathers took a chance
And declared to separate
From the hand of England
On this very month and date

In seventeen and seven six
Independence was declared
Here and now is where we are
This is to look how we have fared

The government in Washington
Has replaced the English King
The independence of the people
Is not presently their thing 

The parties do not oft agree
The people suffer for their voice
The election soon is coming
It's time to make a better choice

The ones who think they're royalty
Quite a few there is no doubt
Have reduced our independence
In November vote them out

If we care for independence
We must vote upon that day
We the people must particpate
To have our declaration say
