We the people have the primary responsibility to keep this country strong. When we give up on the government, we give up on ourselves.
We the People
By Franklin Price
1/11/2017
We the people, through God's hand,
Were made caretakers of this land
The founding fathers understood
What they defined was more than good
Many times through many years
We've made mistakes, shed many tears
Their plan has stood the test of time
To give up now would be a crime
Has not been easy. I'm here to tell
The Civil War a living hell
Could have been the end back then
We came together once again
Conflicts came and conflicts went
From president to president
The system worked or mostly so
Got through it all, so far, I know
Now we're on another verge
Some say beginning of a dirge
It's just a presidential thing
The people still make freedom ring
