Chased: A Poem Inspired By American Banksters and International Women's Day 2011



Chased out of peace
Chased out of time
Chased out of home
All for a crime

Strength of a female
Courage to push on
Need time to catch your breath?
No! Family needs Mom

Desire for justice
Someone's got to pay!
Wall Street gets a bail out
But Main Street should feel shame?

Where are our bonuses?
Is submission what they seek?
Enough of these questions
Let's take it to the street

Chased into a corner
They minimize our bite
We will get up, stand up
Stand up for our right

Excellent, Jasmine! Love it...
Sometimes I think the U.S. copied Argentina, because our savings were robbed way back in 2001-2. Of course, those who had inside info withdrew them in time and moved them to Uruguay! Hugs from Buenos Aires!
