Added Intelligence
Most Intelligent
I’m not the most intelligent being on the planet
In fact, there is much I don’t know or understand, but
I recognized unintelligence in moving jobs to other nations
With expectations of selling to the mother country after
Having lost jobs and money since the movement
Now, with joblessness at its highest due to outsourced jobs
Some are saying maybe the industrialists will bring jobs back
After all, it was economical to move jobs to other states
But, I perceive it’ll be uneconomical to bring jobs home again
Short sighted objectives lacking long term results is unintelligible
Thus, I see disaster on the horizon.
Why fight for righteousness in the planet?
When money waits as evil concealed in the night
And generations of wrongs placed before rights
Take away choices of the virtuousness
I may not see evil coveted, repressed, or intimidated from view, but
Evil I sense, nonetheless, exist

Dear Barbara,
You bring up some very good points! Greed is most certainly involved here, too.
Bless you for writing this!
always, Cat

Even though...
it wasn't a poem, I got the message. Greed indeed, is the motivating factor in moving jobs to other countries. You are right about; if there are no jobs to earn the money, how will we buy the products that we import? ~ Gee
There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Hi Barb
I think this is prose. The unions price their members out of the market then wonder why jobs move away. Textiles in particular started in England then moves to northeast America then to southeast America. The jobs will always migrate to where they can be done cheapest. What angers me is giving tax breaks to companies which move jobs out of country...............stan

Thanks everybody
Thanks for sharing
I wrote because the issues was weighing on mind. So it was not intended to be a poem. now that Im understanding a little about prose. That is the style I was going for. There is so much going on that i can only shaky head as I learn and come to understand what this world is all about
Poetry Is a good way for me to express my self about the Going one on the earth.
That is what poetry Is all about

The mind should be free
The mind should be free
to express views
in poetry or prose,
So I always in prosaic dispose
Don’t worry when it’s
Neither poetry nor prose,
Open a blog and your minds
Garbage therein do dispose
