This is poetry to open the mind in free thought and feel blood flow. They say they can always do it better in Texas maybe that is why we have a President from there. Hp is now a Houston clone. Bill Gates you better never travel on a Texas air line, they dictate as much as you.
Quote: I will never succeed in a business in this country, for I do not have the morals for it nor the taxes to gamble with it.

Land of opportunity
Gold paved streets
Inlaid with diamonds
Book of fiction
Hollywood style

Enron thieves running free
No law there to dictate honesty
Millions hidden from workers wages
Whose retirement is pure fiction
Government protection long evaporated
Into greedy hands
Who shook hands as friends
Protected by laws of stupidity
Both sides segregate in wealth
Gangster business Texas style

Small business merge as one
To fight for the freedom to fail
For the merging of giants will only
Take our dignity and dictate their will

Ask for a Governor for a business loan
And they will say
We need it for new business of giant proportion
So much for free enterprise

Small business pays the cost to get new jobs
The new workers pay the salaries of executive pensions
The politician plays dumb
With our vote of appreciation

I have failed because of myself
My dreaming spirit rides the sky
As the time of success
Is doomed in failure

For my dream was destroyed
Within my own head
As I await the sentence of death
To take my wishes of hope
For no man can stand alone and dream
Gates’s mentality will give the obituary

Why is it with the power we have in our government
Can we not research our own computer language
Free from dictatorship
To run our government institutions, and schools
Why does the post office offer a web site for email
Instead of HOTMAIL black mailing you with closure
They can be the one charging a fee to deliver electronic mail
Or are they afraid to compete

Gates you win you created the terror
Enron you created the climate
HP you are just the next step
My 401 retirement has bankrupt me
In the fact I can not use it
But CEO’s can
And those retirement funds can not be taken off taxes
For they were a figment of Washington’s imagination


A day of frustration in a poets life wondering how do we effect change except go back to nature and say to heck with it all. The bad part they probably dictate city water and tax you for it. You should see what they do with what comes out the other end, the politician want to run with the surcharges and gas up their cars.

What happened to the American worker? Their insurance policy ran out on inflated hopes.

Have you ever tried to get a newspaper editor to email you? Well they do not exist no more for their have been exiled. They have been sentenced to censure for their thoughts are no longer free to express themselves. The great American thinkers jailed by their own miscalculations, never free again to gamble in the written word, an American tragedy.
