The People’s House
~~~
They call it “the People’s House”
But only politicians call it home
Magnificent alabaster structure
Freedom standing on its dome
~~~
The sacred seat of democracy
Where the chosen speak for us
Has fallen into the hypocrisy
A state of hateful distrust
~~~
Where the ones honored lead
Put there by people’s choice
If truth cannot be well agreed
Then no one gets a voice
~~~
And so, “the People” suffer on
As the elected scream and fight
More interested in coming back
Then the doing of what is right
~~~
Remember who you work for
Stop bickering to no end
Or we will vote for others who can
And it will be our house again
~~~

a great message
Thank you Beth!
Love it!! Now if we could just get them to stop bickering long enough to listen to us!
Thanks sis! I appreciate you sharing it.
Reblogged this on Ramblings and Ruminations and commented:
It is, after all, WE the people….
Brilliant message, and true, so true. The people are always mentioned by the politicians but rarely do they ever remember that they are “public servants” and not “officials”. They did not earn the title of “officer” they are “servants” elected to serve and to do the will of the people. Great poem and idea.
All the best my friend,
F.
Thank you Francisco! Your point about being a public servant is a reminder they desperately need. I appreciate you my friend!
You’re very welcome my friend!
Great sharing
Thank you Tina!

Thank you
A beautiful poem!!
Thank you! Kind of you to say!
There will always be ugliness in politics I long ago decided.
Perhaps poets of love should run and then we might indeed become United. Sending you flowers and hugs and blessings my friend. Love ❤️ Jonikins
Thank you kind Jonikins! You are too sweet!
💕🤗❤️😘
So much dysfunction in politics. Whatever happened to “those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it?
wonderful poem, Bard, and it echoes with so much truth. I just wish a politician would come along whose primary focus is doing the right thing, and not just voting along party lines. And being obsessed with getting re-elected…
Thank you, Jim! I agree. The only thing a politician should want for is to make a difference.
well said, Bard… I mean Brad… 🙂
Nice !!!👍
Thank you for your kindness!
