I can relate all too well to this.
Just being born costs an arm and leg.
Keep up the good writing!

I wrote something along the same lines but it is in French. I can relate though. You put forth a good voice here, Linda. Love and peace. Regis

"Joining the rat race
Of millions of working class
Struggling to make ends meet " It is a true replica of the decent injustice perpetrated on the working class by the people with money power! the poem is so realistic of the fate of the working class and as person who led working class for more than a decade, I appreciate your indepth knowledge and sympathy for the working class! thank you dear Linda!

This is a work of art to me.

Written in a style that apeals to my thoughts on society, and the injustice that existists therein.

Would love to hear this put to a good Blues score.
Cheers

Uncle Sam gets his share and then some. I guess I am like Karla the working poor.

Boy, Linda,

You capture it perfectly and vividly. Working poor, that's me--but at least I'm working. Wish I could retire--won't be able to until I'm 108. :) IF I'm blessed. :)

Thought provoking--send this to the government and let Bush balance the budget somewhere else.

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

You have a job paid by the hour. That is sixty minutes, so if you are late, then you haven't worked an hour. Ah, jeez, Lisa, bills have to be MADE before the bill collector comes a-knocking on the door. Wonder who made those bills? And after you get home there is no one to share this dismal life you describe. Wonder why? I usually love everything you write, but I am sorry Lisz, this whining poem just isn't you.
