David Fisher Poet Rhyme

The States, United On Granite

The United States is now a business
Though it was originally sound
And is led by those who have no business
To run it right into the ground

One crime syndicate after another
Backed by the worse money that money can buy
Have borrowed to the edge of infinity
If there is angst, now we know why

But we are not their toxic concoction
And they don’t yet own the whole planet
We’re American strong and will be as long as
We remain the states, united on granite 

Since they own the old school media
Their deceitful news comes out as they plan it
Yet the truth will find a way as long as
We remain the states, united on granite

Tweet-Tweet., to that I say loud and clear. I re-read your poem, it is masterfully written.”United on granite” is brilliant. Pangie 7/28/2023

Gershon Wolf July 24, 2023 at 7:48 PM Though granite has its limits: One of Darmouth College's (Hanover, NH) 'fight songs' ends with these moronic lines: "...And the granite of New Hampshire in their muscles and their brains." (You can't make this stuff up).

Panagiota Romios July 20, 2023 at 10:19 AM Lots of Hooligans and morons have their hands controlling the cash with foreign friends who actually are “foreign fiends.” Don’t know how Americans can learn the truth..as only two channels have the backbone to do so! The USA has been sold to the highest bidder, aka China! Dave, readGordon P Chang, if you have time.choose…..wWIII will be on American soil. Americans are asleep at the wheel of propaganda.174 trillion in debt? Awful. PR
