"BARNSTABLE COUNTY ACHES for CHANGE"

In Barnstable County, where power resides,
A tale of mismanagement, a story that divides,
Commissioners Lyons, Forest, and Bergstrom stray,
With budgets awry, and disputes that never sway.

Secret meetings held, with laws unmet,
Violations abound, the public beset,
Environmental decay and housing, a crisis ignored,
The vulnerable suffer, their voices unheard, their future obscured.

Fiscal responsibility, a distant dream,
Tensions rise high, as the county scheme,
Untransparent and opaque, a leadership that fails,
Leaving citizens in the dark, with no trails, no sails.

The Cape Cod charm, fades from sight,
As leaders falter, without a fight,
For the people's trust, they've failed to earn,
Barnstable County's future, in a state of concern, forlorn.

Let this be a call, for change to come,
For leaders who serve, with hearts that are not numb,
And meet the needs of all, not just a few,
Barnstable County's future, depends on it, anew.
