How much blood, sweat and tears
Must we give to a government
Who squandered our land,
Flowing with milk and honey,
To build up mansions
On our backs,
Beaten and broken;
Fortunes made on too much blood,
Too much sweat,
And too many tears—
How can they still enjoy
Our milk and honey.
It’s easy to build an empire on the backs of workers that you never pay, some the same immigrants you want to chase out of the country. It’s easy for some to be hard. Great write Christopher.
immigrants are such an important part to the growth of a city and it’s culture, it’s a shame!
It is a shame … it is a sin to have to so many human beings living in fear, not knowing what tomorrow will be like for them .
it really is!
Beautifully articulated Christopher
thank you:)
Excellent poem. They can do it because we are the disposable herd and have nothing at all to do with them. They don’t see us, hear us, or care.
so true!
I don’t know where else to post this so I’m doing it here. WP needs a messenger. Anyway, I hear you like The OC. & I’m watching it for the first time right now. 😐 EEP. so many emotions. #AllTheFeels
they really do need a messenger! I love the OC I’m just finishing re-watching it, season 1 is soooo good
I’m on season 2 now (I think) & I need Seth & Sommer in love. I don’t like this bar girl. #NO – how’s your new lifestyle goin?
sooo many love triangles, same–but I really loved Anna, I wanted Seth and Summer together but was so sad when she left to go back to Pittsburgh. It’s good! Found out I need to get a car here so a bit nervous to drive on the other side of the road but other then that I’m pretty much all settled it! hbu how are things?
HAHA. oh my gah! It’s like you’re the mailman (they drive on the wrong side of the car in America anyway). I expect a poem about that experience.
I’m doing pretty good – finally getting my car back this weekend, I think. Then I’ll have nothing to drone on about in my blogs. 😛
lolol just wait till you hit season 3 it will give you plenty of blog material, it is the craziest
Oh how that resonates and stirs the ire I try to keep down ….
Sad but true, government sucks.
