Notes About The Poem

We are all responsible for the situation in which we find ourselves.

We Are the Government

We are the Government
By Franklin Price
6/9/2017

We the people are the government
It's not hard to understand
The House and Senate represent us
But we're the leaders of the band

When we watch them on the TV
Hear them on the radio
See them rant on social media
Calling each other so and so

Making asses of themselves
To put  our country in a bind
We're looking bad collectively
And have lost our friggin' mind.

We must begin to make things right
We the people of this land
Rid ourselves of representatives
That don't care to understand

They're there to do our bidding
And are at our beck and call
Vote them out the next election
When they don't seem to care at all

For we the people are the government
We must participate
Replace misplaced in Washington
Before we find it is too late

Hi Franklin. What a great poem full of wisdom. The cost of freedom is eternal vigilance and it rest squarely on our shoulders. Nice read, my friend..... Robert.
