The fact the rich are getting richer
likewise the poor stay poor.
As the ones in between every where
increase the profits for the rich.
Plus pay the taxes and benefits to
not receiving the recognition.

Those with money get obscenely richer
a division is obvious to see.
Countries going bankrupt who suffers
not those with the mega bucks.
The interest covers their daily need
they are their own breed.

When we are told these times are hard
this for millionaires does not apply.
Certainly no worries how they will pay
heating motor fuel what problem?
Without any financial debt to be met
fly off on holiday in the private jet.

Those thought of as the poor draw benefits
not working it is not worth their while.
The ones in the middle are the true mugs
losing the most in every quarter.
Jobs, countless taxes the cost of living
for them life is not forgiving.

But how long before currencies are worthless
when nobody can afford to buy.
Could every being be worth the same
a meltdown of the human game!

The Foureyed Poet.
The rich have no problems with the bills. The poor are the poor. But those in the middle pay most of the bills! Losing out while supporting the other two!
The Foureyed Poet.
