Kind of Seems That Walmart Isn't Green


Speaking of WASTED FUEL,
what about all those
ships full of containers
carrying consumer products
to WALMART.....
that used to be
made in AMERICA,
but are now
made in CHINA?
Kind of seems
that Walmart
isn't green.

Ohhh, now you're focusing on one of the most horrific monsters turned loose on Earth! In America, everywhere they go, small to medium sized businesses fall into red from unfair competition, and the lifeblood of the cities are bled dry. I've seen in all across this land.
WM is way beyond not being green.....WM is one of the most destructive of all corporations.

Now that's 'green' food for thought!

How many of us can raised hands who haven't been to WalMart?

How many of us have been to their competitors who have had to raise their prices just in order to stay competent?

How many of us just "give in"?

Yes, James, I hear you.

What's the answer?

"A Year Without Made In China".  Good book.  Your poem made me think of this.  You make a good point here.  I wish I could not go to Wal-Mart.  The price of gasoline drives me there, because I can't afford to shop at higher end markets any longer.

No wonder all the trees in the parking lot are so sad.

Wal-Mart is horrible. Bill Gates is a monster. Pity who or whatever has the audacity to become successful.

Perfectly true James, I think that in the name of Economy the world loses its reason...

Thank you for your poem.
