  • NOBLE POETRY  

  • FACTORY JOBS

    Factory jobs 

    Ain’t coming back

    Unfortunately 

    That’s a salient fact

    Trump’s statements to the contrary

    He needs to retract

    It won’t happen by fiat

    That’s presidentially backed

     

    Factory jobs?

    I’ve got news

    Have gone out of style

    Like high buttoned shoes

    Stop lying to the people

    You’re not Howard Hughes

    You haven’t created a thing

    Nor have you paid dues

     

    Factory jos

    Let’s shed a tear

    Are past icons

    From yesteryear

    All but vanished 

    As they disappear

    They no longer exist

    As you might fear

     

    Factory jobs?

    Mr.President please!

    We need a hand

    To get off of our knees

    You don’t wanna confront

    That deadly disease

    Which could bring us out of

    This economic freeze
