A New Deal (Free verse) by oneglove Down on Pennsylvania
Theyâre putting on a show
But Iâm here in Anacostia
Cause I got no where else to go
It wasnât long ago
I was marching down that avenue
My uniformâs a bit more tattered
My soulâs gettin that way too
They say start headin home
But itâs all the same to me
The dust in Oklahoma
Bread lines in Tennessee
When brotherâs march
And fathersâ betray
And the ideals you fought for
Have all passed away
America is burning
America is burning to the ground
Up the ladder:
Existence
Down the ladder:
carpet

based on the bonus march during the depression. i've been fighting with it but it's a work in progress, it just feels generally weak to me. so i guess i'm mainly looking for some help.
Down on Pennsylvania
Theyâre all very gay But Iâm here in Anacostia Cause my cock has gone astray.
I like it. Sounds like a Dylan song.
Yeah, Dylan or Pete Seiger could have sung it. Not bad.
