Senior Citizens/Our Future

Life sucks And guess what It only gets worse Years of hard work And bosses you hate No pension plan Now Social security check is always late No medicare Or decent housing Nursing homes when you’re too much to handle Children doctors straight from college campuses Brittle bones And lose of mind Uncontrollable bodily functions Limbs that won’t answer your command Ungrateful kids who don’t have time to hold your hand Massive heart attacks Triple by-passes Victims of strokes And dirty dealers looking to cash in on old folks 27 dollars worth of food stamps Your government says old people don’t need to eat that much Growing old in America should be better Blame the baby boomers Your time is here But you’ve done nothing and their reality Is now what you should fear~
