Back Bone

Post by moses lee »

We made the "I" beams
The inseams
We brought energy to the home

Backbone

We made the fence's
The stadium benches
Cleaned up the messes

Backone

We made the widgets, gadgets
Wrenches, ratches
From farm machinery
to hatchets

Backbone

Now it's NAFTA
globalization
Workers exploitation
rape of a Nation

Now it reflects
We pay for what we get
Toys that are leaded
Electronics with virus's embedded
Tainted foods for your pet

But it's the bottom line
Stock market quote's
The corporate Kings have spoken
The poor and the middle class
Backbone's are broken

-end-
