We the people
A poem to make one think written from prompt words

We the people

When "we the people" wander
from where we ought to be
and act like we've forgotten
what made this nation free.
-
When fear like fog has dampened
our eagerness to stand
and we're no longer willing
to lend a friend our hand.
-
Then we become a forest
of one's so indiscreet
we will never see the fire
till its burning at our feet.
