the air chilled with violent thoughts

there is no going back, retreating

into another's arms, dreams broken

what has become of the docile man,

the one that moved with authority

speaking friendship to those that

worship another god, forgiveness 

always lasts to try openness of

acceptance the cure of all our

evil ways, the structure around us

secure in it's powerful separation

dividing people with hateful words

as these signals intrude into minds

already desiring revenge, blame is

a strong impulse for others must

be the root of their demands, for

the pay was good and then we were

let go and jobs deserted, these

once powerful cities now buildings

abandoned, pensions no where to

be found, years of service ignored

for cheap labor in a country where

the poor will fight for each job,

lessens the need for any sick leave

or pension, or trust, they came to 

work tired from the weeks, months

working 84 or more hours overtime

and they feel the injustice in their 

jobs but children need to be fed

and the bosses will not negotiate

and the wealthy have a golden egg

and they blame our unions that seek

good pay for the workers, sick pay

better insurance, weekends off 

as exploiting their yearly bonus

making it hard for the hedge

funds to steal more from the bought

union bosses all a game of hide

and deceit and they never make enough

on both sides of the border but budget

seeks to stir up lies to shelter the

corporations heads, any frustration

of being called out on the carpet 

for it isn't your fault, all moneyed

interest never flows down into the

worker ants but always up into

the hands of greedy criminals with

no morals only an aggressive demand

for their fair share in the stealing 

of ones livelihood for they don't care

about families for their sociopathic

love is to destroy families or homeless
