Nightmare on Main Street

Copyright R. N. Taber 2009

Jobs tossed away like beer cans
in a trash bin;
houses repossessed, cash hawks
at the ready

Homes breaking up like levees
in a hurricane;
Marriages made in heaven filing
For bankruptcy

Bankers playing the blame game
to save face;
politicians relying on fiscal fears
for a free hand

In politics, business much as usual
(promises, promises...);
credit crunch or no, can—t go frugal
on the arms budget

World religions cleaning up on new
converts;
safety in numbers, unless you—re in
a war zone

Told to save on energy Ð and who—ll
save the children?
