Nothing says the end is near that when people are losing their homes, the Nation's economy is crumbling down and the banks need to build bigger vaults to keep the money.
Where is that darn camel and the needle?


Poem Artwork







The I.R.S. audit hits
the poor with low income
by, from oil rich, a taxman
with a heart full of war.

Hi Georg,

Bigger vaults to keep the money. Short lines take me straight to the battlefield and souls of pain.

Well done,

Kathy

True. Let's remember JFK: Life isn't fair, never has been and never will be. Something like that. That's because we humans call the shots and how FALLIBLE we are! (And some are just outright MEAN!) Cheers

a sharp and unfortunately true assessment of things today...that line, "a taxman with a heart full of war" is very very nice.

Everything seems to have been turned up-side-down these past few years. Once decent, respectable people have become very greedy and still continue to lust for more. I am truely at a loss for words. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer and the middle class is being squeezed out of existence.

Be safe,
Karen

You tell 'em Georg! Bush, Cheney and their henchmen are profiting from the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq while Americans suffer because Bush vetos any domestic spending.

The economy is still robust and unemployment is lower than in the Clinton era. But I guess some just have to complain.

"American Hiccups (hack-ku)" strikes patriotic emotions.

The reality is at our doors. We either demand respect to the CONSTITUTION, or we line up to the SLAVEYARDGATES.

In admiration,
