The Day Numbers Fought Back
Numbers fall-
They call it
a recession
Government no comment
keep us guessing
Jobs lost
kids starving
Keep us stressing
Robbing people
Just to eat
Now they arresting
8 Million jobs lost
within a year
Poverty peeping
around the corner
Is it near?
America the beautiful
The most powerful
nation
Government employees
spending thousands
Vacations
Poverty embellished
by head authorities,
Worst job lost
falls on the minorities
I guess America will always
have your back
Unless you are a
minority
Well lets just call it
Black...
