Stay out of our
Business, we don’t
Like meddlers.
We take care of
Ourselves out here,
Don’t need your help.
Self-reliance is
Our way of life,
We make our own fortunes.
The dust covers everything,
A gritty blanket of
Dream-erasing misery.
Fervent independence
Falls by the wayside
As fields wither, lives unravel.
Urgent calls
For government help
Arise in chorus.
