Thoughts
I'll barely make
Any money this next year
Probably just a few grand
And I find it all quite queer
That college and post B.A.
Totaled about 120 grand
I will probably be living here
For another few years
There is no upward mobility now
America
A fat and bloaded
Debt ridden cow
I suppose some day
Maybe soon
Everyone will be singing a different tune
One EMP strike
From China
The systems will be down
Not much food
At the markets
And no one in town
This economic system
Is not viable anymore
George Soros' associates
Buying up gold galore
There is the super rich
And the poor
Board up those windows
Store water and food
The people are angry
And in a bad mood
The lies they have been told
The lies they have been sold
They work the day away
And get to barely keep anything
Anyway
Debt and more debt
They cannot pay
18 trillion dollars
Piled high
Piled up to the sky
The Fed will print and print
That's not a solution
One can't put out a fire
By pouring gas on a fire
It's not the same
Don't you see
It's a dim future
Here in America
For you and me
So look out for yourself
Is what you should do
Because in this society
The middle class
Is getting *******
I ate an avocado
Or two
Maybe a bit too much
Yes I am full
Adding popcorn
To that lunch
I sometimes expect
For food to do
Something more
To help make this life
Less than a total bore
But all it does is fill
The stomach again
It's just food
It just fills the stomach
Not the emptiness within
How many hours
Do I spend alone
How many hours
Sitting in this home?
It's just a program
I say
It spins around the sun
And I'm here another day
Hopefully my time will come
To start a career
Money- I do need some
