We the People must work to make things better. Governments, both Federal, State and local have shown they will never do it by themselves. It's sad to say, but the longer an elected official is in office, rthe more like they will become corrupt. It's difficult to say no to temptation.

The End of 2020 By Franklin Price 12/31/2020 It's the end of 2020 Was a most insightful year What's happened to the U.S.A. Is not exactly clear Burdened by the COVID virus Divided by the left and right Will the coming year have sunrise Or move us further into night? Election time is over The end results were fun Whether counted right or wrong It's over said and done Joe Biden was the winner The mail-in voting's what it took Donald Trump was voted out By legal means, or hook and crook. The hated one is almost gone He's closing out his term With a cure for the virus That's right, a vaccine for the germ His atta-boys were plentiful Stupid tweets took those away The blame is very much on him That he lost on polling day My New Year's resolution As this year comes to an end Make improvements on the past Do not break, but only bend Let us pray to God to help us Guide us with his love and care Citizens can make it happen No matter who sits in the chair

Thank goodness. All I can say is "Amen!" I agree with almost everything I read, but especially "Donald Trump was voted out". I enjoyed the subject matter, the format, too. Keep writing, friend! First glance I thought your name was Franklin Pierce!

Thanks for visiting and commenting. Hopefully, the Republicans will recognize Biden ,as the next president, unlike the Democrats did in never recognizing Trump. Will this power struggle of the parties never end? Will Washington ever get back to being a government of, by and for the people? The people must speak out, and vote out, if this is to ever change. Thanks again and Happy New Year!
