Age of disappointment
When them that has – has
And thems that don’t have – Don’t
Anymore.
No increase COLA, Social Security
Cost of Living Adjustment,
won’t go through again for next year.
Starve the elderly and the Disabled
Shouts the press (obsolete).
Functions the Gov’ment
(dys-func-tion-al)
Oh well. Horatio Alger is not dead.
Was he ever really alive?
A nation’s social obligations stop
At the door to the Senate.
Powerful guys and “C” street pagans.
Oh well again. It is an age of
Disappointment in the waste of brains
It takes to not run a corporation right.
People were factored out a long time
Ago in any economic equation.
Tax equation especially.
Anybody with an MBA knows that.
Business, the new secular religion
What does that mean?
Worship of the buck – oh f**k
That what that means.
Religion is dead. Christ too by
Last count – oh Christian church
What do you stand for?
Sin and Salvation.
What ever happened to people
To life, to day to day living?
Wholistic life - medicine???
Yeah right!
One hundred odd words to go.
Age of disappointment
In people, institutions, religion
Where do we turn this thing around?
When???
Too many college degrees (aside)
Practical, manual, labor used
To build nations. Other nations,
not us Anymore.
Now spreadsheet jockeys only Jockey
(don’t know the horse)
And make paper profits on computers
Computers. Another disappointment.
The ability of a robot to make a
Better world. Whose world-
middle class world?
Shrinking class. A disappointment.!?
Boomers mostly, then X
What did I do to change the world?
Very little. Just Death and taxes
To fall back on. That’s my excuse.
What’s yours?
Taxes. Taxes. Taxes.
Age of Disappointment
Crash coming - of faith -
In the system, in the day -
In the flow of it all.
What does the world look like
Feel like tomorrow?
Blah! America.
Age of low expectations.
Age of disappointment.
