We the people

We the people

Some people

insist on attempting short cuts

and they shove their way

to the front  

faking themselves as leaders 

when they are only bushwhacking 

unknowingly off the path 

and into the wilderness

of chaos

Because their wild antics

and fussy fits

take our eyes off our destination

We ain’t so much following 

as We are heavily distracted

and all this nonsense

risks us all

just to reward 

a sordid corrupt compassionless few

What

oh what

 are We to do?

Where is the

renaissance

where Everyone

has meaning

someplace to belong

and everyone

has someone

and their basic needs

are met

where those who suffer misfortune 

are not abandoned

and left alone

and given no compassion

And those who deliver compassion 

are afforded a living wage 

doing those jobs that are unprofitable

though necessary for all

What

oh what

can We do?

Fat cats don’t provide you any value

your hard work no longer rewards you

our communities struggle

as our society crumbles

forcing matters into our own hands

Why do those 

who have it all need more

when those who have little are left to drown

what should We do

when it all goes wrong

what are We to do when it all goes wrong

when what do We do

becomes

what can We do?

This is what We do:

We act

We politely but firmly resist

We appeal to our substantial majority

in numbers so undeniable that

it will be clear there is no alternative

but to yield to enhance democracy that best

represents We the people

We politely but firmly remind

them that We are the torch bearers

from 250 years ago

who remind them what they learned in

grade school


We politely but firmly insist

that We do in fact have a right to exist

and We won't be negotiating

that which is inalienable

We will not yield our life

or our liberty

or our pursuit of happiness

That's a PERIOD.

That's what We will do

Some people

insist on attempting short cuts

and they shove their way

to the front  

faking themselves as leaders

What

Oh what 

Did they think

We would  

Do?
