The city of Detroit.

Don't destroy the forest. Rebuilt the dead cities. Half of Detroit. Is empty.

“The true wealth of a nation lies not in it’s gold or silver but in it’s learning, wisdom and in the uprightness of its sons.” ― Kahlil Gibran

It is an embarrassment that the United States, the wealthiest nation, has people that go hungry. �" Craig T. Nelson

(Election is coming ASAP. Please pay attention. Pass two years. We saw the true faces of our leaders. Know who you are voting for.)

  City of Detroit.

I was raised near downtown Detroit.
Once 2 million strong with hard working people.
Auto companies left Detroit to be dead and bury.
Riots took down downtown.
Leaving a city in great pain.

I remember when my Grandparent took me to Hudson.
A wild and fun journey for a kid with hope and dreams.
We went to Belle Isle.
I swam in the lake and we roamed the Detroit zoo all day.

Many reason for the old city to fall.
Poor leadership and change.
The Auto companies left Detroit, Flint and Saginaw without
hope and dreams.

They left men without jobs and to lose their homes and dreams.
Desperate men can become dangerous.

Leaders in Washington D.C said nothing they can do for Detroit.
Rich men and women running the USA eating steak with a average of 2.3 million
each to live on. They need to walk the streets of Detroit.

540 thousand people with little hope.
Need logical leadership and to rebuilt the old city.

Real jobs bring hope. Built new homes and repair the roads.
Don’t need charity. Need opportunity.

Our leadership spend $740.5 billions for the military in 2021.
Gave away $50 billions dollars  to other countries in 2021.
Senate, House and President needed $1,268,520 each to lead us for food and living. The USA is almost 31 trillion in debt.

10% of war budget could fix all the cities like Detroit. USA spend $68.6 billion on education.
Downsize Federal government.
Give empty property to companies willing to create jobs and hope.
A working Detroit would heal the old city.
Time for change.

Leaders in Washington D.C said there is nothing they can do for Detroit.

Time for change.
Kids need hope.
Children are the hope and the future of the USA.
Top 10 cities with crime and murder are the same.
70% graduating from High School.
Unemployment rate near 50%.

Dear Mr. President and leaders in Washington.
Time to quit trying to fix a world who do not want our help.
It is time to fix your house.
Your house is broken.

Time for common man to gather.
Only time a politician cared for the poor.
is election time.

Many broken promises.
I pray for the sake of the kids of Detroit.
Next election, we elect new people who know the truth from a lie,

and they realize. The well being of the children is the wealth of a country.

Well, politicians are great at their jobs of... Whatever it is they are actually doing instead of what they get paid for.


I see we're not alone with that, unfortunately that knowledge doesn't help much.

It's ironic, one person in the mid eighteen hundreds foresaw this turn of events and warned us about it in a letter before the elite of the time had him and his comrades executed.


The elite does the same crap they did back then, but with different means of doing them.

A good write.

Never just miss your poetry

[Dave Brown]

thankyou for caring
no where near enough do
from a distance, I see a country in trouble, not that there aren't quiet a few others also heading that way.
I should say, I see a world in trouble and it is terrible to see how blind we all are.
Start with a needful neighborhood and expand to a needful city!

I agree Dave. I live in a good place. Mix of every kind of people. We get along and no problems. After the riots in 1967. Federal Government gave Detroit money to create a proper transportation to travel. The money disappeared. The auto companies were against and they all left the city ASAP. I agree. Many countries are struggling. Thank you for reading and the comment.
