ARE THEY WORTH IT?
For only ninety-four days this year
They have been at work, in session
Paid eighteen hundred for each day
Are they worth it, that's the question?
Did they give us all health care?
Or raise the minimum wage?
Did they secure our borders?
Or strive to protect the page?
Did they make us any safer?
Or help out the middle class?
Did they reduce the deficit?
Or make any good bill pass?
Did they really lower taxes?
Or make the rich pay their share?
Did they win either of the Wars?
Or do they even seem to care?
Did they stay out of our bedrooms?
Or make our privacy secure?
Did they give us the right to die?
Or stem cell research for a cure?
Did they search for a different fuel?
Or make Exxon pay what they owe?
Did they have Halliburton account?
Or stop any of that wasteful flow?
Did FEMA take care of disasters?
Did they help the poor rebuild?
Did they make empty promises?
Or were any of them fulfilled?
Did they make our schools safer?
Or fund them, so they could teach?
Did they make English our language?
Or make immigrants learn our speech?
Did they take care of our Seniors?
Or all those mentally impaired?
Did they make drugs affordable?
Or have enough flu shots prepared?
Did they take care of our homeless?
Or make sure all folks were fed?
Did they treat all People equal?
Or let power go to their head?
Did they take care of our Veterans?
Or our Troops when they came home?
Did they believe in PTSD?
Or any other War syndrome?
Did they tell our Troops the truth
Or send most twice or more?
Did they stop the terrorists?
Or let them through our open door?
Did they reach out to the People?
Or think they were above us all?
Did they listen to our complaints?
Or only hear the dollar's call?
Did they try to stop corruption?
Or all the illegal lobbying?
Did they help small businesses?
Or stop the job outsourcing?
Did they do anything that counts?
Or even care about you and me?
Did they bring us to a new low?
Or earn our trust and loyalty?
Did they think we'd vote them back in?
Or turn a blind eye and deaf ear?
Did they think we'd go for "status quo"?
Or they could once more, count on fear?
Did they think we are that stupid?
To vote them all back in again?
Did they think we'd let our Nation lose?
Or think, "We, the People", couldn't win?
In November all of us will see
If we have the will to make a change
To take our Country back from "them"
Although it might seem kinda strange!
If you don't vote then don't complain
If you don't like what comes to be
For the only way to make things better
Is by that one vote from you and me.
