Don’t Flush Us Uncle Sam

By Daniel Minteer

 

We’re still in the red
And feeling quite blue
Our money’s still leaving
With our sanity too

 

Come on Uncle Sam
Let’s get out of debt

The bankers won’t thank us
But our children will I bet

 

Then hope’s on the horizon
While growing our stash
Our lives getting grand
Even better with cash

 

But we’re still in the red
Our neighbors blue too
Let America shine
It’s much up to you

 

 

 

This poem was put to a short music video and uploaded to the Peter G. Peterson Foundation website, campaigning against national debt.  They called this video “a rock anthem.”
