Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

We the People Have Been Jaded

We the People Have Been Jaded
By Franklin Price
10/24/2015

We the people have been jaded
By the current happenings
Though the Constitution says it
We are not in charge of things

Takes millions of dollars
To try to even run
If you cannot get the cash
Before you've started you are done

It's rumored that the middle class
Is this country's beating heart
If it has no contribution
The rich are the biggest part

They get all the attention
Dollars given passed right back
When their lackeys are elected
By the wealthy's super pack

Must reverse this bad reality
Though very difficult will be
Get money from the masses
That means from you and me

Take away the Super Packs
Limit contributions each
Candidates will have to work
Their constituents to reach

Invest their cash and effort
Get interest from the common man
By stumping out there on the street
With open hand and empty can

If their position makes some sense
To the majority of us
We should contribute what we can
To let our favorites ride the bus
