A political statement
Needs to be heard,
By people who matter
Not lines that are blurred.
Trust is an issue
And what’s good for us all,
Not perks for a few
And the rest to the wall.
I want to feel safe
And valued as one,
Not facing the barrel
Of an anger fuelled gun.
Why is the question
So hard to discern ?
Speak from the heart
With a voice of concern!
Lives are what matter
We all are as one,
That is the day when
We will have won.
You are important
And I am as well,
That’s the first step
The hate we must quell.
This fight must be forward
Our world is being slammed.
No arguments between us
Politics be damned!

Can we put you in charge?

Well said! I’d say run for office, but somehow the snowball effect removes all good intentions. It is sad.

The people who want to be in charge are usually the ones who shouldn’t be and the ones who don’t want to be in charge are the ones who should.

There are the people who matter and the people who have influence. Politics goes bad when the two are thought to be the same.

Nicely said Pam. We ALL matter, but that doesn’t seem to “matter” to our elected officials! They pretend to care about us and will fight to keep us safe and free and financially solvent, but once they get into office, we are yesterday’s news.
I think we lose out on some very good candidates because they just can’t afford the cost of a campaign. What’s wrong with this picture?

You are so right Ginger. Unfortunately it is a vicious circle that keeps repeating itself.
