James Fraser Poet Quatrain

We Are the Power

Look out your window
And what do you see
A land of beauty
And all in purpose is free

Conglomerates all over
They grind and they mine
Who tells them to take
What is yours so defined

Elections must change
For tomorrows today
As we are the people
And our thoughts you must say

Be in power
As we have granted you grace
But we are the power
To remove you of place

If you can't be upstanding
Especially, from where you came from
We will know you as weak
When you thought you were strong

For we are the people
Your bosses we are
If you do whats right
We will allow you to star?

Carolyn Devonshire March 12, 2010 at 4:34 PM I wish the elected officials would remember we are their "bosses." Once elected, our voices fall on deaf ears. This is a powerful political write, my friend. I didn't realize this was the case in Scotland as well. Well, we're looking forward to voting a lot of people out of Congress, state legislatures and governorships. It can't happen soon enough! Vince would like this one too! Love, Carolyn
