Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I know, or at least I think, there is very little integrity on the Hill. I believe most votes are cast along the party lines in order to get re-elected. Many times that is not in the best interests of the people whom they represent. The representatives who do this should be voted out by the people. We the People need to be aware and vote for our best interests, not those of the politicians.

Secret Ballot Impeachment

Secret Ballot Impeachment
By Franklin Price
1/28/2020

Trump impeachment now in process
Is on the Senate floor.
The Democrats have said their piece,
Rehashed the House, and not much more.

Republicans now have their turn,
Of course, they will defend.
There may be more to testify,
But projected at the end,

Will be a vote of yea or nay,
To dump Trump from his seat.
Republicans voting all for nay
Are impossible to beat.

The balloting is public.
There for all of us to view.
When votes are cast and counted,
The president will not be new.

Rumors now are being tossed,
Some nays would change to yea,
If the vote was made in secret,
When it comes to voting day.

Trump would then be ousted.
The tables would be turned.
The president unseated. 
We the People would be burned.

The Republicans who would vote yea
Are not the ones we need.
They are the liars either way,
Who make this country bleed.

No matter how the ballots cast
In secret or in view
Should be the same, it's not a game
Should not be one, much less, a few.
