    America Farm is an allegory that compares America's present Mainstreet battle to the French Revolution. This is a fairy story with animals as main characters. Any resemblance to any living creature is pure circumstance. This book also contains poetry which will greatly appeal to Tea Parties, Coffee Parties, 9/12 parties, Joe parties, and People parties. It is a must read for Mainstreet America>

    I hope you like the picture (haha.) Seriously, I am writing under a pen name. I work for a living, and write on the side. My ambition is to become a well known author and poet. Meanwhile, I cannot afford the security that I would need to publish under my real name.I have two college degrees, and have been in the armed forces as a commisioned officer. I wish you would leave feedback, just to know what you think. I hope you like!My dream is that everyone would follow the example set by Dr. King. That is, judge not by color, but the content of your character. Our world would be a much better place if people would just apply that to their own lives.I hope you enjoy my writing. There will be more to come!

      *************

      Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

      The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections.

      The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks.

      Socialism means slavery.

      —Quotes from Sir John Dalberg-Acton

      Do not prejudge. One must read the entire book before forming opinions.

      Preface

      Mainstreet America is ready for change. This book and poetry collection reflects the tea party atmosphere of our nation today. To all the greed that has taken over in our great Nation, we say Growl!

      Growl

      I

      I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by greed, who, lusting clearly out loud, groveled through the gold paven streets of K, looking for their next cash infusion through their sinewy arteries of blue

      Who cry delete the freedom CLO documentation and internal memos; this is our calling while they immediately order more more more

      Who wear wrinkled Armani suits and Brooks Brothers (off the rack) blathering over and over, where is the fringes of society, we stay well away, for the dogs are always on the prowl

      Amnesia sets in from

      Who they are and where they come from, for magical darkness cloaks even for dark hunters of the people pound as the

      Weak and weary traders mark the day on wall by pissing on the solemn bronze bull, saying we are better than you, you ogre taxpayer of lesser ranks of whose Legislators,

      Who in the legislative halls, as locusts descend upon them as they contemplate the next pork project designed to create masses of greenbacks for the starved machine

      Who vote for the power they declare as recess comes and they take showers with Rahm as he assails the naked man with his pointer: Dare you to upset the beast for which me and you pulsate to create?

      Who look away as the final gavel hits wood, naysayers scurry away in silence with their whips. Nothing ventured, nothing gained is the mantra cry of the hungry wolf that goes against his voters for nefarious purposes known only to those

      Who now in hallowed legislator halls follow the strong scent of the Benjamins who are scurrying to fill pockets after dark.

      Who say Hooah! the cry of degenerate mansion dwellers that assail for the purpose of Lehman. Turn the beat around, can you feel it AIG, Morgan, Merril, Ernst and companies?

      Who as Debt becomes Asset in twisted farcical doodlings of the books; Repo 105 spreadsheet junkets are leaving in 15 minutes, so pack your bags to see mainstreet painstreet with those

      Who soar above it on special Lear jets to avoid overcrowding, no tarmac vacations for the privileged

      Who lay their heads on silken woven pillows of fluffiness; 3-D glasses are needed for the tour.

      Feast your eyes on the uninsured, the weak and huddled masses of Emma Lazarus, beneath you cruising of an ungodly altitude

      Who will See the nuclear family struggling to make ends meet.

      Who will Watch as they fail, guttural glee cries from the executive too big to fail.

      Who have No jail time for white collar executive cookbook chefs, visit Riker’s to see the Negroes of mainstreet as they do their time for making ends meet.

      Lehman Morgan Chase Dimon, Blankfein, AIG, major accountants and companies not of mere mortal status deserve better than regular mainstreet beat

      Who dance to the rhythm of the streets, that are ageless and timeless but poverty filled and rhymeless but not of

      Who of the bonus encores, give me more more more, what’s a bad economy for, not for me states Fleet Street, as they fly through azure skies to exotic vacation destinations

      Who as barefoot slaves all in a row, look to gain acceptance to the kingly personas of grata of the K Street pavements of treasures

      Who pick up their bonus check just in time for the big finale; graze on sweet wine fermented from grapes of mainstreet and wrath. Neglect Steinbeck, Okies do not matter to us, we want fine robes from the Harems of de Nile, which is not just a river

      Who as Onward soldiers making their way, leaning to the left and right but standing solid to the Dow, joyously rejoicing in the rise of unworthy securities, highly inflated to inflate earnings of ballooning suits. Suits of armor shielding against
