                      Ignore at Your Peril

 
ORDER to the citizens of The Revised United States.
FOLLOW to the letter.  NO room for DEBATE.
 
No more unpatriotic speaking out against war.
What do you think your tax dollars are for?
 
Free speech very well, but keep it in its place.
Sic prison or the IRS on you if you stick it in our face.
 
Forget all that jibber-jabber about the Boston Tea Party.
Rabble-rousers were, like, you know, all artsy-fartsy.
 
Constitution sucked, so we replaced it.
Anything about liberty, we erased it.
 
So shut your cake-holes and tow our freaking line.
Be good and repeat that  KILLING IS FINE.

outstanding! Actually, I began by typing a three word phrase...kind of a more descriptive form of outstanding from my Marine Corps days...but decided that might not go over well...heheheheh...
Seriously, this is good work.

Wow what a write my friend! I must say that I am proud to be an American, I hate to see anyone loose their life, but those serving our country are there by choice, it's not by draft! I have to think that we would have had repeat 9-11 events if we didn't have our brave soldiers. I hate to see any country at war, but sometimes there are situations you just got to do what you have to do! It is also a fulfilling of the bible...we can read in Matthew of wars and rumors of wars. Spoken loud and clear dear friend!
Blessings from Kentucky,
Joyce Bowling

Hopefully, many more people will speak out as you do. Enough is enough! The next year and a half is going to feel like an eternity.

It does seem to be that the majority no longer have says in this world, our lives and our families well being seem to be controlled by the wills of the minorities. Good write.

Pea,

WOW~~~~~~~~~awesome, awesome write. You tell it like it is: they don't listen to the common man, or to the Constitution. No wonder we're going to hell in a handbasket. Well done!!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

well done-in my classroom yesterday, when 2 students thought it would be funny not to stand during the pledge, i had the oppotunity to address some similar issues--well done!

I think "Ignore at Your Peril" ought to be plastered on billboards across the country! People don't get it: The Constitution is a document that dictates the LAW... law? what's that? Do you eat it, drink it, or sit one it? hmmm please explain.

Pea, you have a gift for telling it like it is!!

Carmen :-)

Who needs Constitution if nobody in The Oval OFFICE can read it ~ either because they like to be criminals or for illiteracy?

"Ignore at Your Peril" has paid its poetic dues to the treasure of JUSTICE.

I salute You Poet.

In admiration,

WOW! I'm in trouble now. Someday our president will catch up to my many email's telling him to stop most of what he does. So far he hasn't listened to the people or our senate.

Nice read, Pod!

What do you think your tax dollars are for?

Thanks for clearing that up, Phyllis - and tax dollars not yet even collected, for the next billion years or so. And let's not forget the billions of dollars that will be needed to treat the thousands of severely wounded soldiers, in our crumbling, over-crowded, uncaring, veteran health care system.

But I better be quiet now, and refer back to Rule Number One above.
