Janet Bingham Poet Rhyme

War of the Common Man

WAR OF THE COMMON MAN

I live in the Land of America
where no politician stays honest.
Everything they promise us becomes a lie
to keep our salaries uncertain and modest.

The government taxes more than we can afford.
Politicians claim there's no choice.
They're taking away all our freedoms.
The poor have no money or voice.

There'll be a Day of Rebellion.
Blood will run where asphalt has been,
and nary a politician left standing alive,
a victory for working women and men.
