Notes About The Poem

Many thanks to our forefathers who wrote the Constitution it as it should be. Many boos and hisses to Washington who act as if it doesn't exist. Many shame on you's for the media; reporting for ratings not truth.

Constitution			          

We the People						
In order to form a more perfect Union		
Establish justice					
Insure domestic tranquility				
Provide for the common defense			
Promote the general Welfare				
Secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves		
And our posterity					
Do ordain and establish this Constitution		


Washington

We in Washington
In order to form a more a more perfect sideshow
Establish ourselves
Insure domestic upheaval
Provide for our sins to defend
Promote the general confusion
Secure the blessings of security to ourselves
And our posterity
Do ordain to ignore the established Constitution


Media

We  the media
In order to get much better ratings
Establish recognition
Insure large market share
Provide even questionable news
Promote advertising
Secure capitalistic gains
For all posterity
Do ordain and establish our self importance
