It is, after all, WE the people….
~~~
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
~~~
Ramblings and Ruminations 
I’m reminded of Lincoln quoting the gospels: “…a house divided against itself cannot stand.” His reasoning:
“The proposition is indisputably true … and I will deliver it as written. I want to use some universally known figure, expressed in simple language as universally known, that it may strike home to the minds of men in order to rouse them to the peril of the times.”
