"We The People"

Wake up sheeple!

We The People getting raped and bullied down

So many without a job, so many wearing a frown

Presidents, lawmakers, and cheaters sit up high

Wiping their asses with our blood stained money

Vacationing, drinking, dancing and parading a crown.

 

Many of you worship a counterfeit of a man

So smart, he needs a teleprompter to talk the talk

Still waiting I am for him to walk the walk

I don't care if my thoughts are not your own

We each have the freedom to make our voices known.

 

Pay attention and wake the hell up all of you

Damn you if you think this does not affect what you do

Our forefathers are rolling over in their graves

Our Bill of Rights is hitting the shredder

How in hell will this make our lives better!

Amazingly, politics are so similar from country to country that this is relatable. I could tell you horror stories about our province, and wrote a couple poems like this myself now and again. Democracy really is a "lessor of the evils" sort of game, and for some reason the smart people are always on the wrong side of the vote.

I'm not a big Fox News watcher, I just caught wind of this video somewhere and I saved it. I believe that what he says is most likely true. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=52b_1329796059

Your words stun us from our slumber.. I know it matters.. yes.. And more will be stripped away if we don't stand up... Those people losing their lives all around the globe right now trying to gain freedoms, while so many sit here letting them slip away. Wake us up.. please.. please...

Nice message. Wonderful writing. Really true.

This left quite an impression on me. I read it in awe and at the same time I was pouring myself into every detail. Everything from dialogue to description was superb. I surely hope you decide to continue.

great poem!
stand up for what you believe in!

Who cares what the people think! Poems like these HAVE to be written, they expand your risk-taking power of expression, the taboo needs to be talked about. Americans don't have an ounce of true activism in them, if you ask me. I'm giving it a 100.

Perversely intelligent and magnifcent to the point of jealousy, well done

[Chris]

Excellent! Raw, angry, powerful, and bears the tone of revolutionary spirit that is sure to wake us the f**k up!

Ccounterfeit man-describing with perfection, this is.

[M Garcia]

Honestly, has the Bill of Rights ever mattered? Great write.
