Notes About The Poem

We the people voted change. Give it a chance to see if it's possible

There's Soon To Be a President

There's soon to Be a President 
By Franklin Price
12/9/2016

There's soon to be a president, the kind we've never had before.
Speaks of many ways and means, this country should explore
Never been a politician, or General of note;
Ran to make America great again, to save a sinking boat

Not interested in money. He's a multi-billionaire
Has foregone the paltry salary of the presidential chair. 
Tired of greedy politicians as so many of us are,
Not a practicing attorney, who should have never passed the bar

He now is in the process of picking out his team.
Many of them also rich; so wealth is not their scheme;
Can concentrate on jobs at hand and really get things done.
We chose him 'cause he's different, now let's see if he's the one.

There are many people talking, who are more than just concerned.
Should look at past administrations to see how we've been burned
With misdirected wars, healthcare that really doesn't work
Still are many people saying, Trump is nothing but a jerk.

The establishment in Washington has shown us many jerks
They're In the House and Senate; many only for the perks.
Guided by the lobbyists, in the pockets of the rich,
They say that Trump will be a  problem. Now isn't life a *****? 

Congress, listen to the people, after all we put you there.
Better start to work for us again, to show us that you care.
Don't be the chock, beneath the wheel, that keeps us on the ground
If so, the next election, you will no longer be around.

We're tired of your finagling, your graft and royal greed
A massive change in Washington is what the people need
Have voted a new president who's saying just the same
I pray that we the people, once again, are in the game.
