Wanting Truth Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Toting banners, pulling politicians out of hiding,
making them accountable for their service or lack
of it.

No offices or secretaries to hide behind, facing
an audience with a definite agenda for all to meet
and agree head on.

Where are the excuses, lamentations, words to cower
behind?

They are all gone, frightened away by the people
who have had enough.

Following the immediate problems through to their
solutions, lies the faith people have begun with.

Sounding boards, allowing no reprieve, just truth,
straight and simple.
