Notes About The Poem

Is the Republican establishment finally seeing the light? I doubt it. 

To Hell With Party People

To Hell with Party People
By Franklin Price
5/5/2016

To hell with all the people
Every woman, child and man 
The establishment  Republicans
Have ignored us all they can

In the primaries we have voted
For the  one who's not with them 
Who we want for president 
Has the established party on a limb

Of course they do not want him
He never was their choice
What were we voters thinking
They're supposed to be our voice

They're standing on the outside
With the saw against the trunk
Won't be long 'til they are falling down 
To the ground with all their bunk

They should see the large handwriting
Is on the wall to get them out 
Our votes now should have told them 
If there ever was a doubt

We selected them some time ago
They promised us a lot
In the end they were quite useless
Now what they caused is what they've got
