Appointments bug me so

I get there ahead of time

And wait and wait an hour late.

There are good reasons at times.

 

I guess it's part of life

As many have the same problem.

I guess these days if you get care at all

You have beat the system.

 

Many doctors are planning to retire

As the new healthcare system kicks in.

More people less doctors less care.

Don't waste time on the old, let them die.

 

We will see the full effects

Of this system if it's not changed

In the coming months of next year.

I pity my grand kids who have more to lose.

 

Inflation is no longer a myth

Or a blip that will go away.

The government can't keep printing money-

Your savings will be cut in half.

 

The answer is get rid of those in power

Who are out to destroy this Country.

Insidious, evil people from what I see,

Get rid of them or pay the price.

 

If you want a hand out and live on the dole

Who will pay for it you better ask yourself

Because there may be nobody left

To give you a job or pay your bills.
