The Simplest Things To Do For The Love Of Country Poem by RIC BASTASA

vote wisely.
obey traffic rules
pay your taxes
work honestly
corruption is a No.
Obey the rules.
Do what you can
for this government.

Nothing new
really. Nothing
so silly.

My college political
law professor
suggests
a critical mind
active citizenship
question some rules
be not blind to
what the government say
analyze,
suspect every leader
trust no one
but be kind, and gentle
for this government
that derives power
from the voice of the
people.
