WHITE HOUSE SHILL

So the White House got caught
With a sort of Shill in the Press Corps
To get the Spokesman and the Pres.
Off the hook and even more.

He took a Quote from Limbaugh
That was not a Quote at all
And asked the Pres. all about it
And that started the downfall.

I guess Reality of the Truth
Is something They don’t think we Need
Or Fear if we knew what it was
It might be something we might Heed.

Don’t know why I should expect different
Guess that’s the way it’s always been
A politician’s way is say one thing
Then change it and Lie to us again.

I keep hoping it will get better
That one will Run who we can Trust
But with so many self-serving ways
Someday our Country will go Bust.

Whether Republican or Democrat
Most all of them are just the same
And those who do try to do Right
Soon find themselves out of the Game.

Some want that "New World Order"
And If we do not change our ways
And make it run by, "We, the People!"
We will run out of Freedom’s Days.

WE, THE PEOPLE


We, the people of these United States
To form a more perfect union
Do, hereby ordain and reestablish
This American Constitution -
To promote a general Welfare -
Provide a common Defence -
And to establish equal Justice
In a setting from whence
We, the people of this Great Nation
In safe Tranquillity
Can secure all the Blessings
Of guaranteed Liberty.

AMENDMENT I

We have the Right to Assemble -
Freedom of Press and Speech -
The Right for all to Petition -
And all Religions to Preach.

AMENDMENT II

We have the Right to a Militia
For State Security -
The Right to keep and bear Arms -
One more Guarantee.


AMENDMENT III

In times when there is Peace
Then the Right to Commandeer
Possessions by the Soldier
The Law says, "No.", it's clear -
But if it is in Wartime
Then, for those who live its' Hell
The Law says, we must open doors -
Provide them a place to Dwell.

AMENDMENT IV

Illegal Searches are Prohibited -
As for Seizures, it's the same
Unless a Warrant has been issued
That states specific Place and Name.

AMENDMENT V

No person without Due Process
Shall be Tried for any Crime -
And for any one Offense
Shall be Indicted just one time -
No one shall have to Testify
Against themselves, if they do -
Life, Liberty, and Property
To be Protected by Laws too.


AMENDMENT VI

One accused of Crime has Right
To a speedy public Trial -
To a Jury of his Peers -
To Legal Counsel all the while -
To confront his Accusers -
To have Witness for his side -
To be Convicted by the Proof -
Not by things merely implied.

AMENDMENT VII

The Right to Jury Trial
Shall always be preserved -
Except, as is Provided
The Judgment will be Observed.

AMENDMENT VIII

No Excessive Fines will be imposed -
Excessive Bail is not permitted -
No Cruel, Unusual Punishment
Is to be Inflicted.

AMENDMENT IX

Those Rights listed herein
Shall not take away
From those retained by the People
Or the Will, of what they say.

AMENDMENT X

The Laws other that those stated
Shall be written by each State
By the Will of the People -
To unique problems, they'll relate.

These First through Tenth Amendments
Of our Constitution
Are the most important
For our Freedoms' Resolution -
We must always Protect them
And not let them slip away
For, though they don't work perfectly
This World has not a better way.
