Buy American Made = Stimulate The Return Of A Growing American Economy :)

Revive An American Train

A cultural vibration
Has come over me,
Multitudes of sentiment
In the grind of our work days,
A message of light
In our economic living.

It’s origin has come
From somewhere on high,
A light that filled my heart and mind.
It has poured out of a pen
And moved first to paper,
Then crafted a turn virtual
Through this hardware
We call a computer.

Another way
Is being made known to me
To live respect in our own Economy.
Don’t wait Americans
For a structure to dictate
Our economic policy.

We have the power
At this very hour
In our own down home choices
To ignite an economic fire
For new jobs and investment
In our own America.

Those choices we call ours,
Are buying American made products
To support our basic needs in everyday living.

Supply and demand
Comes out of our hand,
Which the hand of commerce then turns
To ignite our train.

Greed for profits by organizations
Has created our pain,
And we followed suit
In choosing to buy
Items made on foreign soil.
Our dollars by our choice
Left our own geography!

But we have possession
Of a great spark,
And that is our choice
To reinvest in our own resources
In our own country, America
And buy American made!

Supply and demand, we create,
Through how we ourselves
Use the power of manifestation
From our own hands
To support our own basic human needs
Down home, starting with our families.

So….

Let’s go shopping.
What products do we choose
To create this new American train
To help ourselves to employment gain?

Let’s buy American Made!

The boots I need for walking
Who makes them in America?
The clothes I need for wearing
Who makes them in America?
The food we need for our lives, sustaining?
Where’s the local farmer around the corner
Who produces food on our own American soil?

Let’s not wait
For our government’s date
To create economic policy
With perhaps ingredients missing!

We are the ingredients
Of the recipe.
We hold the key
To the hand of commerce
And its breathing in our country! 🙂

Our focused choices
To buy American Made
Will begin to bolster
Strength in our own country,
To the very depths of our households and families.

Even if the idea of buying something American
Seems costly right now,
Have faith in the steam of creation in our own engine.
Ways will emerge for all Americans
To participate in buying products made in America.

This is the creation of our renewed economic train,
And it will bring jobs home again.
Supply and demand
Can be a wonderful engine
When we feed the fire
With our own wood burning.

I’m not saying to boycott
Global multiculturalism!
The message I relay
Is one of respect
And starts at home
Within our own sentiment.
When we respect our own resources,
We begin to see
The ability within to respect external energies.

Respect has the potential
To burgeon globally,
When each system
Gives reverence to its own resources
And follows with world caring in creation
When countries begin global economic negotiation.
But this concept must start at home
For its light to spread living

I believe our train has begun.
It has taken form under His sun.
Americans are ripe for new economic creation.
The sentiment of economic stimulation
In our own geography is already spoken.
Every day I hear it
From many of you fellow Americans.
Let’s get cooking
We are the recipe ready for baking!
