    < jesus from el salvador >

[font=Courier New]   is busy  
  cleaning buildings  
  in the    
  united states    
  of america  
  and tonight    
  he's at the office  
  in the    
  united states    
  where I work  
  and he's vacuuming    
  and emptying    
  my waste basket  
  and he's earning    
  u.s. dollars    
  and paying taxes  
  and because of    
  the massive u.s.    
  federal debt    
  the tax from that beer
  he bought at lunch  
  today is just now    
  going to pay
  for the u.s. sponsored training of the salvadoran police  
  that tortured and killed his wife and two children  
   
      - - -
