American Made (Nowhere To Turn) Poem by Eric Cockrell

American made....
in the fields, backs bent,
working the earth....

in the factories,
hands, eyes, and machines,
moving in well oiled unison....

in the mills,
cloth woven into warmth
and cover.....

on the sites,
buildings going up,
block by block.....

in the trucks,
barreling across the highways,
carrying goods coast to coast....

in the hospitals,
skilled hands healing,
hearts with shoes.....

American made,
standing in unemployment lines,
vacant buildings, trucks shut down....

American made....
not needed anymore,
with nowhere to turn!
