Union City

The vast masses in NYC 
    depend on unions 
 so they can feed themselves and/or their families 
   Saw in the union paper 
that someone in the union 
     wrote a book of verse 
More power to him! 
    Write verse for the people!

Hello Matt, how are you, stopping by to say hi, and see how you are doing. I posted a new poem, stop by and say hi, and read the poem when you have the time... Love Linda

Unions may be constructive or destructive pending the intentions: good when they care of the people and bad when they are thirsty for power alone! A very sensitive issue well expressed!

Your poem shows your sensitivity. In very direct simplicity, you've expressed what you believe in,, for the masses.. for the people. I'm very impressed with the subject here, Mathew and I love the element of spontaneity in your verse! Peace and love to you too,, gautami
