The Right of the People

One more shove

In this world without love

We'll fall over the edge of insanity

And the abyss we'll see

Ever wonder what was there

I never found myself to care

But we'll all see

If no one listens to me

The rich takes from the poor

But there's no reason for

All this political unrest

As our country's put to the test

The poor can't fight

But it's what's right

The law works for money

Cause it's the cash they see

The rich can't have extra tax

So business men relax

You need that money so you can pay your butler

And the politicians remember the donations I'm sure

Us poor folk can't pay for things like healthcare

Not with these taxes, it's just not fair

We already can't even afford to go to the doctor

Why'd you decide to dump such a huge tax on us for

Us rich folk need help form our government

Well yes, we can pay for lavish cars, and expensive rent

But what about our butlers, and maids' rent

They need money too, in case you can't get a hint

Maybe us poor folk are breaking our back

And probably deserve some slack

You poor folk aren't anything but lazy

If you think we'll sympathize, you're crazy

Of course, of course, because we're too lazy to inherit our daddy's vault 

Us rich folk are tired of your verbal assault

Us poor folk are tired of your egotistical attitude

That, poor folks, was rather rude

GUYS! GUYS! GUYS!

Listen, some of the poor do break their back

And rich folks, you might want to cut them slack

I agree some are rather lazy

And to be that lazy to me seems crazy

Some rich folks did just have to outlive their father

But some got rich due to work and years served harder

Than some of the poor folk that make assumptions that the rich didn't earn their wealth

But guys, lets just put our differences aside for our country's health

I don't know if we really do need healthcare

Our country's been without it, and look how we've faired

It's shutdown when such ideas have been talked about

And honestly, it is a bit of a socialist route

But as important as that is, there's something of greater importance

No, I'm not talking about unifying under a political stance

I'm talking about Syria, and their acts of injustice against their people

Such things have been made illegal

I mostly don't care about rules, but these people have died

Because their government's corrupt inside

I don't think the world can reach complete peace

But standing by and doing nothing's a disgrace to those decease

So please, rich, poor, in the middle folk

It's time for you to have awoke

Because our government has started to do the same

And we'll be who's to blame

Because our government's by the people, for the people of the United States

And no matter how hard, how good, or technical anyone debates

Freedom's what's right

So please, fight the good fight

Not a fight against our government as they corrupt

Not to fight against Syria's government because they disrupt

But fight against what's wrong, and what we won't take

Because we can't have governments made up of politicians so fake

We can't take taxation

Not without representation

We can't let the wrongs of the world tread on everyone

And if this somehow woke you up, get ready because the war's just begun

Author's Note

Hello, my fellow Americans. If you still aren't convinced our government's corrupt, I can prove it to you. Remember JFK? Yeah, the president who was assassinated after giving a speech. Was it conspiracy, or was he just paranoid? That's not the point of my speech, the point is, JFK mysteriously was assassinated. Of course, there are still some who don't agree with me right now, but there are minds I can change. Do you know of the NSA? I hope you do because they know about you, they phone taped, and I bet still are. Now, I understand, our country needs to be safe, and maybe if some people weren't doing wrong they wouldn't worry, but that's a bit creepy, unsettling, and dishonest. I of course don't like the NSA, but some do, and some do disagree with my whole poem I just wrote. Let me continue though. Here, watch these.









So, are there some who are starting to rethink? I hope there are, because those are the ones awake. I'm sorry, but America cares about America like it always has, but now the people aren't apart of America, it's the government that's America. Our government is a machine we built, and one we must destroy. You see every man has skeletons in his closets, and demons of his own. This government was a proud accomplishment, but it slowly corrupted, now it's corruption is a skeleton people put in closets, and a demon no one wants to take care of. Why? We have a problem America, and it's not going away until we make it go away. Ever hear of cause and effect? My political cause is to motivate others, it's effect is a new, and better America. One that will again be for the people, and by the people. Thank you for reading.

(Side note, I know my civil rights. I have the right to speak freely. I don't know what else to get from "Freedom of Speech". I also know the people have a right to abolish this government, and restart. "whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.")
