"Are You Being Heard?"

(Don't wait till you're in your eighties)

What are you doing so your voice is heard
About the evils of Congress and Ringling Bros. and
     not enough gun controls?
Are you sharing with anyone your "brilliant" thoughts?
Are you sure that the world's living up to your goals?

Are you perfectly pleased with the powers that be?
And are you content to BYOB
When something better perhaps could be had?
You're not the least bit, not even a tiny bit mad?

Here's to the New Year of wanting things better,
And to your letting the rest of us know.
Start a chain letter. Be a pace setter.
It's not going to get better if you're a no-show.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
