Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

A law needs to be passed that prevents those running for the House or Senate, from accepting funds raised out of their individual states. The House and Senate make up the Congress of the United States by representing each of their states for the common good of all; not for the common good of those in Washington only.

 

The House and Senate

The House and Senate
By Franklin Price
08/30/2020

What are the House and Senate?
Who are the people there?
Who sent them up to Washington?
Are they there for States to share?

Senators and Representatives
For each state,  the only way
The Constitution says it's so
At least back in the day

It's now about the parties
Not to make the people smile
But to get to the majority
To not have to cross the aisle

Pump money at whoever helps
To make that dream come true
How they will help the party
Not what they'll do for me and you

Not for the states they represent 
But the power in D.C.
For the royalty in Washington
And to hell with you and me

If one can't get elected
With the support from their own state
They don't deserve the House or Senate
And are really not that great
