We have no idea how bad it could get ...

When the tough times come, And you know they will. Will you be prepared, To pay the bill—to kill? No time for charity, No thought of sin. When the last bread crumb, Empties the bin. Will you bury your daughter, Abandon your son? Will you steal and lie to get by, Or just lie down and die? You never thought it would come to this. You lived your life in contented bliss. You thought your goodness was God-given, But you were lucky just to be living. When tough times come, And there's nowhere to run. What will you do? …. One thing’s for sure, Death will be looking for you. Copyright 2003 © Ronald W. Hull 2/23/03

Got off my lazy ass again Ron. I like this. You take us to a time we all either want to avoid of simply want to miss. Part of being an adult and growing though.

My heart is full from this poem
you have left me overwhelmed like always
truth and thoughts can hurt the most at times when measures need to be taken

Hi Ron
Agreed. Very thought provoking--it will
be a trip to watch what happens to propriety
when primal instincts take the fore. Vicky

the foreboding truth of what may be coming.
It is an excellent image of post nuclear war, famine and drought all rolled into one. Good job.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
