WE THE PEOPLE

by A.N.M. - Pisces

WE THE PEOPLE...
Here's what we're NOT...
We are not all "our stuff"...
All the things that we've bought.

We don't represent the "government",
Nor statistics and bureaucracy...
We are not face-less masses
Of "high" and "low" classes
WE ARE ONE in an endless sea

Of hearts filled with love,
Compassion and strength---
Who will willingly go to
Most any length
To help and preserve
Human dignity...
Our spirits, our minds
Collectively!

WE THE PEOPLE
Are fathers and mothers
Brothers and friends
Who care about each other
In times of great need
In times of great sorrow
WE are the ones that
Make a better tomorrow!!

Let the "powers that be"
In their houses of gold
"Officials" and "law-makers"
Pompous and bold---
Wallow around in THEIR
Own filthy stew
For WE have each other...
WE know what to do!
It's called caring and giving
Sharing and might
WE THE PEOPLE
Are truly the last
Shining light.
