Sold

Sold
The old Adam's Millis building where my grandfather worked is quiet.
The grass is knee high, doors are closed, and the halls are empty.
The machines are silent and the heart of the American factories are gone.
Sold out to the lowest bidders. Mexico and China work for slave wages.
Here at home furniture is touched up, that is made overseas for $2.00
on the hour.
OSHA is part of the cause, they have regulated the American families right
out of business. The President didn't help! He sold us out, when he signed
NAFTA.
I bet his grandparents threaded a needle years ago or hand crafted a table leg.
What a disgrace my grandpa would say.
They worked so hard to build this economy.
Thinking up new inventions to be traded on the high seas.
They left factories and companies so that their grand children would have a chance
at this life in the free world.
Instead of standing on the Promises they left behind, we are tearing down Commandments
and hiding them around.
We are so dumbed down in this, "Country so tis of thee."
We Americans are allowing the Government to sale us to the lowest bidder.
Who will pay for our power bills, clothes, and food?
It sure will not be the people overseas.
