LETTERS TO MY POLITICANS

I've written many letters, trying to find hope.

Perhaps someone would listen - someone who's gained my vote.

My congressman or mayor, legislators, too,

Mentioning my problems to see what they would do.

It's almost re-election time, "Can't start new projects now.

Get in touch in January; we'll try to help, somehow."

But when the new year rolls around and January's begun,

Will I still look for answers? From someone? Anyone?

I'm told the new year's difficult; They must get settled in

To the office that I was a help in getting them to win.

So, now I'm writing once again my letters of distress,

But not to politicians. They can't read SOS!!
