The Dead Stagger On
The factories rust oxide red,
The parking lots sit cracked and empty.
The vacants molder and rot away.
Manufacturers flounder and fail.
Blue-collared workers flee to warmer climes.
Death stretches on, forever protracted.
Once-proud communities erode away slowly.
A seemingly rock-solid way of life is forever lost.
We used to make something, the forgotten lament.
