Description

NO! IT CAN'T BE "FORTY  ACRES AND A MULE"

I'm not all that I can be 'cause of lack of opportunity

or is it that I became content and stood still

from slothfulness or just free will

I told myself Let it be

All my of ambitions seemed to pass

thoughts of achievements didn't last

I told myself Let it be

Unemployment-Welfare-A Helping Hand

Hustle, Bustle, Stop, Look and stand

A Burden I've become upon this PROMISED LAND

Cashing in my Welfare Check and Food Stamps

is a JOB within itself

standing in those long lines is a real mess!

I told myself Let it be

Governments' rendering promissory SLAVES PAY!

From days of old in lieu of my FOREFATHER AND MOTHER

"FORTY ACRES AND A MULE"

I TOLD MYSELF NO IT CAN'T BE!
