Poem Artwork



the satellite box
puts the spin on
pizzazz with all manner of
pills, lotions, balms & potions
and the small print often times
catches you and me off guard
with the notion of leading us
astray, down the bad credit way

no doubt those who get sucker'd
by emotions of entitlement take
what little monies they have that
shoulda been spent on the rent, whoops!
wonder where the paycheck went?!. . .
and all hell breaks loose
because the truth is we gather
more clutter than our neighbor's
mama'nem and sister and brother
all put together,
but what does it matter?

for the chatter box rules. . .
we lose our cool, go bankrupt
like fools perish in the debts of social
mire, and so many seek a business
with minds that inquire, jumping from the
frying pan straight back into the fire
hoping to escape a lifetime of
financial quagmire. . .

but which one, dear Lord. . , is our question?

Post-note: cynth'ya is one of a growing number of business-mined speakers and authors who write off ALL of trips, save on their taxes, cell phone, meals, mileage (have mercy) thanks to just sharing the benefits of www.theharvestisplenty.com without the trappings of traditional home based business. It's the last great American way to get ahead. . . the Travel Industry Boom is a 7 trillion dollar industry. Wouldn't it be nice to pocket a few of those dollars anytime we had to take a trip anyway?

Cynth'ya,
Once again, I must state "excellent writing," which you already knew. This poem shows that you are enlightened and tell things as they are. Moreso than other people. Great!

Blessings,
George

I have never liked credit cards, never will. They are evil, and I don't care to have any. Enuff said. Excellent write, Cynth'ya; brava!

Cynth'ya,

You pen powerful advice in dynamic lines; many fall into the credit/buy it now/pay/pay/pay through the nose later. Been there, done that.

Now, living on a little over $200.00 a month, I have to budget every penny. After utilities, what money to spend? If I don't need it, don't buy it. Cash all the way, baby! What hurts most is not being able to afford a little something for me or Karen after bills...oh, well, used to it. But it would be nice to have s o m e t h i n g left over...have considered an online/home business, but don't know where to begin.

Sorry for the novel, sorry for the digression, but your words got me started. And that's a good thing. If you can save ONE person from falling into the danger zone, your words will be worth their weight in G O L D. :) Well done, my (((friend))), well done!!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
