"THE GODS FORGOT ME,
IM WHITE TOO!!"
by Judy Joy Jones
news says
white people are rich
hmmmm wander why
the gods forget me

a woman who appears
to be white

to send my money

an error
even heaven
can make a mistake
now an then
sooo excited
soon ill be rich
like the news says
im suppose to be

That was a really cute poem with a lot of truth to it. So many are being driven from middle-class existence into the ranks of the poor with the continual erosion of the standard of living while the rich grow richer like in feudal days. Some say there is a revolution coming. I would hate to have to resort to bloodshed to simply do what is right.
Thanks for the delightful, uplifting poem today.

I'll bet you had fun writing this delightful poem, dear Judy Joy Jones!
Instead of being rich, you have been given many wonderful talents.
Just keep on keepin' on!
