Trade Realignment

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: TRADE POLICY

 

Trade Realignment *

 

Beneath the headlines of the day

The American Israeli war on Iran

A trade coalition came into play

In the arrival of a new dawn

 

Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay

With the European continent

The world need not wonder why

Trade with the United States is spent

 

This is the start of a realignment

That circumscribes American interests

Our former partners in consignment

Finding deals that serve them best

 

Some may cry America First!

Yet its effects may put us last

We could not have done any worse

Had we given Fair Trade a chance

 

Three more years of high inflation

Three more years of our decline

Three more years of degradation

As our proud nation falls behind

 

* EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement
