Not a poetry.

by tania-crocker

When Benjamin Franklin left independence hall just after the second drafting. He was approach by a woman on the street and the woman said; "Mr. Franklin, what manner of government have you bequip us?" And Franklin said; "A republic ma'am. If you can keep it." The responsibility of a country is not in the hands of a privilege few. We are strong. We are free from ternary as long as each one of us remember his or her duty as a citizen. Whether its to report a pot hole at the top of the street or lies in the state of union address. Speak up!! Ask those questions!! Demand that truth. Democracy is not a free ride man, I'm here to tell you. But this is where we live. And if we do our jobs, this is where our children will live. God bless it.
