THE PEOPLE WILL ENDURE
by Joseph L. Campanello
The people will carry on
Through hurricane, high water, and hell,
Through drought and flood, come what may,
We’ll do our jobs till the judgement day:
Not a tornado’s fury, nor an ocean swell
Will prevent us from doing our duty,
No matter the obstacles put in our way…
The people will endure
Trials and tribulations, use and abuse,
Lies and deceit, cheating and theft,
Robbed by the Right, screwed by the Left,
Knowing that politicians play fast and loose
With our money, our trust, the truth,
Feeling betrayed, baffled, and bereft…
The people will persevere
Despite the prophecies of doom and despair,
Committed to providing a better tomorrow
For our children, we overcome sorrow:
Sustained by a faith in a God who cares,
Helped along by neighbors who share,
With goods and comfort for others to borrow…
The people will prevail
Where our “leaders" have failed,
When the big shots have run out of rope
We will live on in peace and in hope !
