noise

by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed — Read all 584 poems by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed

How noisy is your game? (Written in a spirit of joy and moving forward, not fear and blame, look forward. There's comfort when you know that your finances AND spirit are going to be okay because you stopped relying on others to make life alright. We are our OWN financial salvation for our families, for our legacies...and in the end...heaven is the best deal around.

Poem Artwork

 

 

bankers screaming bloody foul
got candidates both talkin' loud
investors greed is out of whack
they want their dirty dollars back
but what about the rest of us
who work for those who downsize us?

the best is not for those who have
a suit or tie or monsters ball,
it's those who stand the test of time
regardless of what newsblast chimes

the best is not a bank account
that AIG just got bailed out
the best? it starts way down inside
and no one can erase the pride
of people who are rising strong
reclaiming heights where we belong

and no one dares look down on those
who've been below the doubter's nose
the ones who keep their hopes alive
will be the ones who always strive!

 LET'S HOPE THIS IS NOT TRUE... BUT IF IT IS...WE ARE IN A SAD STATE AND MUST FIGHT AGAINST THIS SCANDALOUS TACTIC

MICHIGAN VOTERS IN FORECLOSURE UNABLE TO VOTE?

Is it any wonder that things are going awry? Money/power etc... are the root of all the evil on this world. Like we don't know. Thank you for validating my beliefs. Love and peace to you, Cynth'ya,

the roots of this nightmare are in the 1999 repeal of the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act by William Jefferson Clinton -- the 1933 Glass- Steagall Act was written to prevent exactly what has happened to the home lending segment of the financial institutions in this country --reducing the financial security required of borrowers for a loan -- thus permitting almost everyone to get a lone -- now it is quite obvious just how wrong that was -- the heads of fanny mae and freddy mack are former Clinton cabinet members, Ruben et al!

Much stregnth in these lines of troubled times: for some, but not for all. Really felt,

" but what about the rest of us
who work for those who downsize us?"

TRUTH: friend of mine, after 15 years of faithful service to the Fort Worth paper, was let go: her department downsized/outsourced to India. That's going to be real good, when someone calls to ask where their paper is, and they get someone who's not even in the country!!!!

And what about those of us who can't work? The disabled?? GRRRRRRRR

Just wish I had the money to get a start up out of this hellhole of poverty!!!! Well said, Cynth'ya.

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