My Silent Voice

Im frustrated, so I go workout, usually some music, cardio,and pushups get it out, That silent voice upstairs overpowers the mp3, This whole job and money situation really bothers me, Checked my email, American Express lowered my limit, A result of Thursday. Stock market took a huge pivot, I know all good and bad times pass, Predicting the next few years will be a rough patch Over and over I hear one person never really matters, A bluff to justify debt earned on a degree to climb corporate ladders, CEOS learned to hypnotize their populations, to follow like cattle and obey to their regulations, They promote Equal Opportunity Workplace and Open Door Policy, If you dare be different or question you're laid off, such hypocracy, Businesses have libraries of secrets conveying ambush, betrayal, and theft, Not an ounce of integrity or dignity, not a thread of honesty left, The Elite, AKA top two percent, would fail every employment personality test, But those new hires are expected to work long hours at their best, Laid off, get same job later, economy is excuse to pay less, Your lack of income makes that CEO feel he's got more muscle on his chest. Plenty bought arms wanting the American Dream, Banks made their bucks and made a mess of everything, National rating goes down, credit limits suffer, they're left untouched They still have customers, we're making an ass of us, Time to stop the pendulum... Dissect this for just a second, It shocks me the public hasn't learned it's lesson. We own them entirely and we give them our money freely, They wouldn't exist if we acted on our values properly, These fortunes act like pre-madonnas, acting untouchable they backhand us, over and over, and we continue to flock, We must not have the brightest kids on the block. Anyone think to start from scratch, Develop a new formula begin a new batch, The importance of love, life, owning yourself, Recovering values and humanity, all you'd need is help, remember that millions feel just the way you do, Power in numbers could perform corporate voodoo, There's so much more to this than whats in this song, One by one stop being lazy and fix whats wrong. Next time you buy milk, clothes, or some produce, Better be “Made in America” otherwise our profits reduce. Wrong mentality what you dont see doesn't effect you,, results will be engraved in your life like a tatoo.

I hear you to some extent, be self sufficient is best. Not being a greedy materialistic piggy would be good too, but the highest moral code would be to buy the best PRODUCT [when you can't simply by second hand or fix what you have] simply buying Made in the USA will not help unless you want to stay in the culture of planned obselescance, if we make sub standard products they SHOULD sit there. None of us have money to waste. Congrad's on your win. Light & Love

Sharon, this is more like a salient heart cry which sounds louder than a drum. This is such a pregnant poem. Cheers.
