America's Middle Class

                                                                  

 

 

When things go from bad to worse,

Your frayed purse strings snap,

Rendering your spendthrift mentality

A bag lady holding the empty bag,

And desperation sets in, like decay,

Blowflies, maggots, mites

Feasting on your defeated spirit,

Putrefying the last of your dignity,

 

You reach for the only thing left

In your depleted bag of tricks —

Chapter 7 bankruptcy —

And pray that Lazarus/Phoenix fates

Will raise your soul, from its ashes,

Not turn it to dust even faster.
