Notes About The Poem

Belief without committment, is not belief.

 

Whistle Blowers

Whistle Blowers
By Franklin Price
10/26/2019

Whistle blowers everywhere
When causes need a shove
Funny how they have no names
For finger prints, a glove

They come out of the woodwork
Close to the powers that be
Might suffer repercussions
If they gave identity

Want no risk for what they say
For fingers that they point
If they remain anonymous
Won't end up in the joint

Our Nation's founding fathers
Were whistle blowers too
They signed the Declaration
Disclosed who would lead the coups

Risked their lives and their possessions
For all that they believed
Drew the line within the sand
So no one was deceived

If you're a whistle blower
And what you say is true
Sign the declaration
That's the least that you should do
