Business as USUAL !

PROMISES, PROMISES !

Pity the poor CEOs,
Capped at $500 K;
That's only $10 K per week,
How will their bills they ever pay?

But they can also get a bonus,
Equal to that ludicrous pay;
Yep, Obama's showing us how,
Great changes are coming our way.

Cater to wealth, forget the poor,
People still sleeping in the street;
What a wonderful job thus far,
His priorities are real neat.

In fairness let's give him more time,
I'm sure he'll get to those in need;
Like Veterans with poor health care,
The unemployed with families to feed

Already, promises broken,
It's funny how when things do change;
It's still business as usual,
Everything remains the same.

Still there is only one leader,
Who we still can have trust and faith;
Lord, won't You help America?
It's time is short; it's getting late.

So many have lost...and many have never had to struggle, and they do not know how!
They are lost...taking things out on anyone, especially their own family.

I, too, think of those poor people on the street. Even in my house with the heat going I feel the bite of this cold weather. I feel guilty at enjoying such comforts when there are people everywhere who don't even have homes or food to put on their table. We keep fighting wars in other countries and sending food to other countries, but when are we going to address the problems at home?

Don't get me started, Paul. LOL You know how I feel 'bout this ('cause you read my words). Perhaps mine, inspired by Eileen Waldron, inspired yours. Let's all pick up a pen and scream from the top of our lungs, NO MORE!!!!!!!!! Excellent write, same BS, different day, I say. :( Sad, and we served our countries. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
