If you don't vote responsibly, don't complain

 

We the Foolish People By Franklin Price 11/22/2019 We the foolish people, who follow party lines Deserve what we are getting, when we're ignoring all the signs The ones that we've elected , not supposed to have their way They're there to represent us, We the People have the say. If you're yelling for term limits, we've had them from the start Don't vote for the incumbents, if they haven't done their part. Yearly limits are as follows, House is voted every two; The Senate six and staggered, continuity for you. Together they're the Congress, as law makers of the land, Must be elected every time, what don't you understand? The President is in between, the first term only four. Up for one more re-election, if We the People want some more If you're not going to the polls, you're not one of the We You don't affect the outcome of who we are to be If you think your vote is useless, doesn't count to have a say, You're part of the biggest problem that is facing us today Get involved and speak to others about who should play the game If you think you can do better, you should throw in your own name. The more that we are all involved, to move from night to day, The better all our lives will be, when “We the People” have our say

Quite well done. Not only do they not vote. We have double, triple, criminals and non- citizens voting. Add a one sided press.... Trust and pray the people vote....many Americans do not know basic civics. And there are more than two parties..way more. Informative poem. Panagiota.
