India & Japan Poem by Luke Easter

Oh the wonders of technology two countries worlds away,
Toyota & Honda, most popular vehicles on the road today,
But, when jobs are outsourced the bulk of which will go,
Employment ends where advancement has failed to grow.

Power to poverty ratio is the worse in known civilization,
Substance for advancement is on par with those Haitians,
Nuclear capabilities enable them equal in deadly power,
But, in fairness one is middle class earning $2 an hour.

You’d be hard pressed to find luxury rolling off the line,
The Lexus Hybrid or lunch $10.00 to a couple of dimes,
1 million dollar bonus (8 grand) for Japan’s middle class,
8 years to make in India, closing the gap extremely fast?

Do what you’ve always done, be where you’ve always been,
Whereas, Japan has turned defeat into a global economic den,
Pakistan’s neighbor is still struggling despite outsourced jobs,
But in America usually guns & knives are used to be robbed.

That difference betwixt the two is enormous enough, so tell,
Who to call for expert advice when things aren’t going well?
Problems arise, do we seek the most knowledgeable we can?
Mo money, mo money, explains why it’s India & not Japan.
