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.
