Poems
Jun 2015
I'm Poor
I went to college
And got more education
And I'm sitting here
On a Friday night
With $4.35 in my account
There are no jobs
And America is ruined
There is no future here
And WWIII might be
On it's way
These older people
I live with
Seem to think
Things will just
Continue on as always
Life's easy
When you have a job
And a steady paycheck
Baby boomers
Still fixated in front
Of the television
Taking pills as well
Repeating the same routine
Over and over again
And I can't afford
To leave
And I won't ever
I don't think
I've learned not
To get my hopes up
For a decent job
California
All dried up
I'm just going to have
A big laugh
When the banks fail
When everything in ruins
America the great ***** of Babylon
Your debts piled high
You legalize gay marriage
Your abortions
Your unemployment
Your stagnant economy
Your growing police state
The destruction
Of the middle class
And decent paying jobs
Let judgement come
Upon this land
Many of the people have broke
The covenant with
The Lord
And will not repent
Our leaders corrupt
Let them be judged!
They have turned away
Let judgement
Come To America
