Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I was prompted to write this after following the results of the Democratic Caucus in Nevada and the South Carolina Republican Primary. It is very evident that Americans are more than fed up with our, so called, government. These are my feelings about that.

We'Re Sick and Tired

We're Sick and Tired
By Franklin Price
2/20/2016

We're sick and tired of being sick and tired
Of the establishment
Ignoring what this country needs
They are destruction bent 

They never will cooperate
If it's not invented here
Won't cross the aisle with open hand 
Even though what's right is clear

Being Conservative or Liberal
Is all that matters to these nuts 
Vote to rid ourselves of them 
Pull ourselves out of these ruts

Only we can do it
Must cast our votes to win
Return  government to the people
In this year let us begin

Participate and take a stand
Intelligently pick and choose
We the people win, each and every time,
We cause the establishment to lose

Without a doubt it's scary
What will new people do?
Hopefully it's not “bend over”
As the establishment says to you

Times are not what they once were
Strong actions we must take
To make our country strong again
For us and our descendants' sake

I commend you my friend for having a voice and using it! Franklin Price February 21, 2016 at 7:43 AM Thank you! Join me and write some of your own. There is no lack of subject.

Cynthia Buhain-Baello February 20, 2016 at 10:09 PM "Return government to the people" is the core of democracy. The government is the people's will, if it is not, then it is not a government. A very timely, relevant, and strong write every American poet must read - and write some too. Franklin Price February 21, 2016 at 7:43 AM Thank you! Join me and write some of your own.
