    One Nation Under

    Land of the Free
    Home of the Brave
    Is what we've always learned.
    Now, Today, we hear the news
    of Turmoil where ever we turn.
    Stocks are down, Inflation up,
    A home foreclosure stamplede.
    People losing their livelihood
    At Record Breaking speed.
    Exceptions being the Wall Street Crowd
    and Golden Parachute folk;
    which Congress agreed to "Rescue"
    to stop the spiraling slope.
    A slope brought on by corruption,
    by those Elected to Lead.
    Thinking they'd keep the Oath they took,
    Our Fundamental Creed:
    One Nation, Under God
    With Liberty and Justice for all.
    Guess this was too much to believe
    From those who have left us to fall.

    OMG! This is just GREAT! I am a very political person, so I can really appreciate this. I'd like to pick out a favorite line; but all of this is one big favorite line. I tip my hat to you. Thanx to you too Tina for leading me here.

    Wow, Im amazed at this poem... I couldnt agree with you more on everything you've written! Its ridiculous, isn't it? While all the white collar folks are livivn it up the little people are losing everything they have... Its sickening. Wonderful poem, Ill be recomending it for sure!

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
