By The People

BY THE PEOPLE They “spin” us until we’re dizzy With all of their rhetoric Around and round and round Until it can make you sick. They tell us things “they know” (At least, they say they do!) Think the People will believe Instead of see it, through. They “pull the wool” for a time Until the People start to peek And see and hear all the lies All those politicians speak. That, ”By and For the People” Rings hollow in the swell Of those Special Interest Groups Who Buy those, who will Sell. They send our Jobs and Dollars To those countries “over there” While we have Homeless, Uninsured And they don’t even seem to care. There are Tax Breaks for the Rich While the rest of us pay the Bills They’re too busy Playing Politics To try to cure our Country’s Ills. They don’t mind Fighting the Wars As long, as “theirs” don’t have serve To make most of our Military Out of those who were, “Reserve”. Two Parties with their Agendas With no difference twixt the two Who fight amongst one another Instead of rights for me and you. We need a New and Independent To be Voted in some day To be, “By and for the People” Back to the True American Way. Del “Abe” Jones 05-31-2005
