What Do You
Bring?
©2010 Mark Witters
As head of our Republic-what
do you bring?
Elected as leader, anointed
as King.
Posturing on premises that
you would unite,
Ruling from entitlement from
some lofty height.
The money isn’t yours; that’s
why you don’t care.
Redistribute livelihoods as
if such a thing is fair.
Arrogance unabated,
emotionless and cold.
Cool calm and
calculated. Where is your soul?
What do you bring?
Sadly, not a thing.
Statist elitists- what hath
ye wrought-
Unbridled government where
all of you are bought?
Above every law you write for
those you say you serve.
Spending our tomorrows. Where do you get your nerve?
Enable freedom’s enemies at
peril of us all.
Ignore alarming evidence
behind convenient walls.
In this deep depression, what
is it that you do?
Tax us to oblivion. Unconcerned what we go through.
What do you bring?
Sadly, not a thing.
First they take our money,
then all of our land.
Conscript us all as servants
to fulfill their crazed demands.
But we’re smart, determined,
and fully understand.
Common sense and virtue are
both close at hand.
Problem or solution- which
one will we be?
Think about a future when we
all are free.
Act as though our very lives
depend on what we choose.
It might be the last thing we
have left to lose.
What do we bring?
Proudly, everything!
