We are not our founding fathers, nor are we living in their times.
Not Our Founding Father's Nation
By Franklin Price

Not our founding father's nation
That we're living in today
We're no longer using horses
To move ourselves along the way
Autos, planes and satellites
Make this country very small
The World is not much bigger
All is at our beck and call
Information instantaneous
Don't have to wait for print
No time to think what's happening
To know if we came or went
TV news and internet
Tell us lies until they're caught
If unlucky they've convinced us
What they're selling we have bought
Retractions often hidden
In the text of future lies
Misuse of new technologies
Is something I despise
The Constitution still applies
And the Holy Bible too
New interpretations needed
For the times we're going through
Be careful to whom you listen
Determine what is false or fact
Ride figuratively on a founder's horse
To determine how to act
