When (Nonet)

You both say you have the middle class, 
In mind to help their struggle now,
Where have you both been before?
We’ve been struggling for years,
Senators can’t help,
Just presidents,
Maybe so,
We’ll see,
When

So much truth in your words. This is a timely piece. When will the politicians really look out for the folks. Though there are a few that try, many are corrupt. Through our apathy, we've let them take over. It's time, we the people hold them accountable. People are starting to stand up. In that, there is hope. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and for your kind words regarding my poem. Keep on writing! Karen

Cecil I for one certainly wouldn't hold my breath - Only thing they all agree on is top pay for themselves with full medical benefits etc. Great Nonet - God bless
