[bodytext] => _____________________ Streets paved with gold Beckoned my ancestors From Ireland long ago Leave behind the poverty Make a new start and grow Rich as a king in America Ah but it was not so And still today we toil and sweat With not to show but a broken back The rich look down upon the poor The poor resenting what they lack And every day the gap grows Gas tis over $2 a gallon Barons of industry run the show With no care for wilderness No care for the poor No care for decency, justice and fairness They worship the almighty dollar And once we stood young and brave Shouted power to the people And thought we could change everything But now where are those stalwart voices Talking on cell phones to fancy lawyers Protect my investments, cut me a deal I want more than I will ever need The fever grows and spreads the greed While the poor are pushed out of the picture The rich are laughing up their sleeve Vote for me and I’ll send you a dollar Vote for me and I’ll send you to war Vote for me and I’ll send your job overseas Vote for me if you don’t know any better Please vote responsibly – this message is approved by Merry [comments] => 3 [counter] => 153 [topic] => 41 [informant] => merry [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
