Bernard Barclay Poet Narrative

Governments

I can't understand 
why all governments
wouldn't support my ideas
they get into power

based on the promise
of creating work for our people
they get into power
based on promises 

that improve our lives
encouraging people to invest
creates company's 
the more company's you create

the more tax the government gets 
the less unemployment you have
the less the government has to pay
investing improves lives

people get into stealing
selling drugs 
and crime to make money
teach them to create jobs

and they make money 
by helping others 
reducing crime
investing improves lives

people with jobs 
build houses 
a healthy building system
makes a healthy country

people that have money 
to feed their families
are more settled
reducing anger about injustice

if other countries have money
they can afford to buy 
your products
helping each other become successful

creating work in africa
creates customers in your future
creating peace creates futures
granted you can't sell guns

but you can sell chocolate
grated you can't sell bombs 
but imagine just what you can sell
and how many jobs that would create
