Yes, We can, And, Yes We Did, And Now, We Must...... Stand together as one Nation Join our hands in harmony Show the World what is possible In this, Land of Liberty. Realize the great importance Of, the real history of this day And know, the passing of this torch Has forever, changed our way. Demand, those promises be kept Now that the campaign is done Put the lobbyists in their place And make the People, number one. Take better care of our young Raise the bar of their education Make health care affordable to all Control the cost of medication. Keep promises made to Veterans Take care, of those back from war Strive for World peace and security Because, that's what we stand for. Secure our wide-open borders Stop illegal people and the drugs We must enforce our Rule of Law To stop the traffickers and thugs. Protect our worker's livelihoods Quit sending their jobs, overseas Make all those goods we buy, safe Not let them sell us, what they please. Provide for our senior citizens And, help them live with dignity Remember, when we are younger That one day, that's who, we'll be. Make sure no one goes hungry Or, lives homeless on the street To pass from this life unnoticed From winter's cold or summer heat. Take on our global warming Be a leader for a sensible cure End our fossil fuel dependence Or, it might be the end, for sure. Make sure all, pay their fair share Put an end to Wall Street greed Quit bailing out white collar thieves For, jail time is what, they need. Find a simple way to vote that works So we can trust it will be counted And you must vote to have a say Or your complaints will be discounted. Return to, "By and for the People" We must get back, Freedoms lost For, when our Rights slip away That is by far, too high a cost. Yes, we can and yes, we will But each must do, our part in the cause Change this Country back once more To the greatness, that, once was. Del "Abe" Jones 11.05.2008 How did that go?? But for our stupid assed wars we'd be sittin' pretty (oh, and the banks, and borrowing, and tax breaks, and foreign aid, and showing our ass by thinking, "We know best!") But yeah, it is a little better, I GUESS? Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. copyright 1984 More poet |

I wrote a lot of things in response to this, but afterward I realized you really didn't care for an honest answer by your P.S. at the bottom of this poem. If you can think anything is better than it was three years ago, there is no use talking to you, and I shan't in the future. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
