Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Working for Ford

Henry Ford did shock the U.S.
1914 he doubled pay
Of his workers to great success,
Figuring this was the best way
For more U.S. prosperity.
Flash forward to 2010,
A banner year for Ford to be,
Most U.S. workers having been
Fired in favor of foreign hire,
Who would work twenty times as cheap.
Ford, Inc. now a global empire,
U.S. labor - no need to keep.

The more profits, cut labor cost.
Henry Ford's lesson has been lost.
