Recall America's huge robust middle-class <br />From the good old days that didn't last <br />Once hard-working, now jobless, they can't subsist <br />Our nation's middle-class strength no longer exists <br /> <br />Short-sighted greed has charted this course <br />For large corporate profits, jobs were out-sourced <br />Rich high-powered C E O's who don't give squats <br />Divided our country into haves and have-nots <br /> <br />With the majority poor and the minority rich <br />It appears there's no room for a middle-class niche <br />It's hard to believe this poor-rich extreme <br />Is what was perceived as the American dream<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/middle-class-3/
