Dodged yet ANOTHER bullet…

Unfortunately this is NOT fiction, though I just wish once it was...



Poem Artwork

Though its bound to again happen,

Wish my rent were to be paid in yen,

Of course my paycheck would also be that then,

It’s been God the reason I get these breaks,

And my past flirtation with as well Zen…

 

I just gotta now bite that bullet I dodged,

And keep making higher payments,

If I expect to stay in the place I now live,

Thanks to all those that the last time helped,

To you all my love I do give…

 

How long will I last,

In this life when now I got to fast,

Yes money is tight, but now will be my belt,

No food in the place to speak of,

Will I get to the point that I know how others with starvation have felt…?

ED ... JUST DO WHAT OTHER 'IDIOTS' WILL DO ...

OVER-REACT & VOTE IN THE PARTY OF 'NO' WHO CAUSED ALL THIS BULL-SHIT!

PLEASE DON'T TAX THE RICH SONZ-A-BITCHES, WHO LAUGH AT US, THE POOR!

IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR THE
STINKING FILTHY RICH & THE CORPORATIONS!

ALL THEIR POLITICAL RHETORIC IS PURE, UNADULTERATED 'BULL-SHIT' !

'WE THE PEOPLE' NEED TO VOTE AGAINST EVERY DAMNED CROOKED INCUMBENT - NO MATTER WHICH PARTY THEY REPRESENT !

HANG IN THERE BUNKY !

I certainly hope not. Dog food may be nutritious, but I would gag trying to eat it.

Just hang in there and do what you're doing positively, and gradually, everything will work out.

IT IS A VERY 'THIN LINE' BETWEEN SURVIVING AN NOT SURVIVING...BUT YOU ARE NOT ALONE. UNFORTUNATELY, THESE ARE TOUGH TIMES FOR EVERYONE, ED, BUT IT IS BY THE WISDOM OF A GOOD GOD THAT WE ALL ARE ABLE TO CONTINUOUSLY 'DODGE'...THOSE LOOMING BULLETS EVER MONTH. THIS IS A CANDID LOOK AT A VERY REAL ISSUE. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
