Over Time We As American Are Replaced

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

Maybe if the Federal and State Governments stopped buying GM vehicles or demanded the cars, they make be American made from American parts, GM would change their non-patriotic tune.

I think that all GM Executives be given Trump lumps of coal for Christmas bonuses. Maybe the GM CEO should lose American citizenship and be reprimanded to Mexico, or overseas.

I think IRS audits for GM executives are needed to see if they are using Trump Taxfree procedures.

That GM lobbyists be mandated to sign up as foreign agents and be made to record which poli-morticians, they see, or contribute to.

Over Time We As Americans Are Replaced

Daily routines, pivot divots,
Worn in depth, dug deeper.
Today being, much the same
As the day before - before that.

Lackluster time, spins in place,
Back ‘n forth, to and fro repeats.
Mundane Monday onto Friday,
Weekdays work, free weekends.

Work routines, rush hour traffic,
Wheels tired torn, worn in pavement.
Alarm clocks rings, brush in tooth paste,
Cars down driveways, reversing forward.

Same roadway, insane traffic lights,
Guides one down, prerecorded paths.
Passing buildings that weather paint
Being repainted, dew cracks - leather fade.

Seasons change to surround vegetation,
Spring seeds into Fall’s, Winter composts.
Thawing, then freezing, years amid placemats
Midst rain drops, falling as snow flack.

Main Street’s family business closings,
Bring Super Walmart flash openings.
While plant openings, then bear Lordstown's.
Wherein being laid off, one stops, and dies.

America’s Dream, Chevy working here tradition
That was civilian refinanced backed from bankruptcy.
Then GM CEO moves Hope to Mexico – overseas,
Yes, Santa – some kind of Christmas Corporate present.

Walmart’s that used to support American products.
Detroit GM, Ford, Chrysler now leave factory corpses.
Political promises of poli-morticians, who selloff America.
Bit by bit “We the People” where asked to trust Republicans

We find Democratic Progressive fired truth - They LIED to US.
Santa give GM executive, those Trump lumps of coal.
Let US banish Corporations from America’s Mainstream Dream
These poli-morticians. be Benedict Arnold’s representing - 
CEO's Made for Mexico.

Nice David, well done! If GM was a small parts business that was bailed out so the US could compete by continuing to make a certain part in the US the government would probably have a clause in their contract that they would forever make that product in the USA or pay back every cent. But the democratic government who bailed GM out was too naive to think such a proud US brand would EVER turn their backs on the very country that GAVE THEM A NEW LIFE!
So that's the thanks we get? GM is BIG but it's NOT a foreign country but it's CEO is acting as if they are! They ARE profitable but now they are turning the NEW BREED of GM cars to the NEW GREED of people who want to make an extra buck no matter how it's done!
I agree the unions in the USA also have become so greedy that it makes it almost impossible to compete with markets overseas. However, profit sharing would change all of that. We need to think smarter! When will we learn? I pray someday we will wake up to form a better way for all. Thank you David!

I think when GM closed its operation in Canada, our airhead Prime Minister thinks that China is going to move its autoindustry to Canada. Good dream, but it's not going to happen. I think your president is now negotiating a deal with China to have its autoindustry to be in the U.S. They had 90 days to discuss the possibility of any deals. If China agrees to have it in the U.S. then both Canada and Mexico will lose out on the deal bigly. Our PM Trudeau is not good in making deals. He has managed to mess up everything for us in a few short years.
