Welcome to the United States

 It was 1999 I was working for L.H Smith construction out of Tecumseh Michigan.

 On my way to work I pulled safely to the side of the road and wrote this poem on a recyclable McDonald's bag. Originally titled "the politicians" every thing I write is subject to change. 

 When I got to the job Larry asked me why I was late. He acted like he was gonna hit me with his hammer when I told him "I stopped to write a poem". 


               Welcome to the United States

As the politicians converse

Our people disperse

It's all just madness

In giving despair

We all prepare

Though we act unaware

We just give them a stare

They'll do what they do

And take what they want

We look to our lives

For a moment life is good

Then here's life with all reality

And life is bad

But I can take the bad

When it weighs out with the good

Only bad is so often and heavy

That's not good

In given despair we all prepare

And want what they take

"Welcome to the United States".
