Haiku 45

 Haiku 45 -

What government does best.

When we need help from :
Wild fires, Hurricanes, droughts,
Tornadoes, floods, quakes.

When we need to build :
Interstate highways, bridges,
Dams, levies, air ports.

When our health's concerned :
Plague, epidemic, germ war,
Radiation deaths.

Man still killing Man,
Do we only remember ?
When will killing stop ?

Country or party,
Thinking big or thinking small -
Constitution's big.

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs !
Politicians must get it !
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs !

Ronald C. Downie
