Someday when we remember

The way things used to be

and all our cherished freedoms

are just a memory;

and we have no jobs or bank accounts

and there's no prosperity,

maybe then we'll remember that voting

Should have been done intelligently.

It's not about a pretty face

or who speaks more eloquently,

it's about the Constitution

and our precious Democracy.

We knew all about our candidates

their ideals and their policy

but some were caught up in the moment,

And forgot their responsibility.

We are learning a difficult lesson

through pain and adversity,

But I hope we will all remember

True freedom is not free!
