Politics and Government

Politics and Government 
By Franklin Price
8/16/2015

Politics and Government,
along with Church and State,
are closely tied together,
would be nice to separate.

All created by mankind.
for many different reasons.
Each has more variety
than found in all the seasons.

Throw in massive egos,
media, celebrity,
having their own agendas,
they've created what you see

Have put rings in our noses,
hung carrots from a stick,
the end result chaotic;
what has happened makes me sick

The idea when this all began,
when the Pilgrims hit this shore,
was that we could find some freedom
of religion maybe more.

Then came the revolution,
the Constitution too,
these were very good ideas,
have brought us to this zoo.

Freedom's by the wayside.
Been lost along the way.
Someone there to tell us 
what to do and what to say

I don't know about you,
but as for me and mine,
to get our freedoms once again,
would just be mighty fine.

Bill Lindsay August 16, 2015 at 8:47 AM POLITICS 'p?l?t?ks/ noun From Greek; 'Poly' or many, and 'Tics' or blood-sucking creatures. ;) a splendid write. Franklin Price August 19, 2015 at 7:46 AM Thanks for the visit and the nice comments. How is it you know so much about Greek derivatives and also politics? That's right, the Greeks helped start it all. What happened on the way to today?
