When the middle-class stretches and grows <br />someone knows! Even though the best decision <br />may rock the pillar, shake the beam <br />loose the temporary foundation <br />the middle-class still are! The middle-class shakes the rafters, <br />peers through the roof, stretches—yearning <br />to grow after the roots are shaken—tough, <br />beyond what once was the middle-class!<br /><br />Shirley Marie Jacobsen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-middle-class-woes/
