Heart of USA

The beating heart of the USA

is the bustle, noise, smoke and chatter

of the American Work-Place .

Morning traffic filled with bright eyed

people  on their way to work

They  laugh, tell jokes, gripe, fight

but build, produce, generate,

 

Fills their soul with satisfaction

pays income taxes, state taxes,

Social security taxes,

buys houses, cars clothing, food,

vacations, schools, runs  churches

Produces, Produces, Produces, and creates happiness.

 

Then along came the smudges

Making deals with other countries

ripped the heart out of American  (for money)

  Guess who passed Nafta??????,,,Who ripped the heart out of america??????????????

The smudges think, "I can run the USA "  

The heart is beating slower and slower

as sadness  replaces joy

Heads down, as the blood is slowly seeping out of America

The smudges are fading out the color of the American Canvas

replacing it with shades of gray.
