What Will Happen

What will happen, when our jobs leave town, no food on the table, unemployment bound. But then what happens, when that runs out, no roof over our heads, can't take a nap. Just like a dog, a chasing it's tail, round, and round, as the economy fails. It won't matter, if gas is a dollar or less, nothing to drive, the car has been repossessed. Times are scary, what will we do, go back to the ways, our grandparents knew.

Wow Christy, your pen is magical as I always find myself so drawn into your creative words always seeking more of you. Another outstanding poem by the poet I shall always be looking up to. You Go Girl... MPK

Guess we will do whatever we can. As my husband likes to say "we'll burn that bridge when we come to it". I try not to let my mind go to the worst scenario but it seems to be getting more difficult not to, doesn't it. Love, Shar

Like i said you have a great style. Bethlem steel is in pa where i live, It's closed now they hope to open a casino on site by memorial day, shame alot of history. And just to clarify i'm not on any quest i have always wrote poems and songs about social problems that come to the fore front along with workin man woes. Don

Christy, people need to learn to be more self sufficient. The people I admire the most in this country are the Amish, they are ready for pretty much what the world throws at us. They are survivors, and we need to learn from them, your friend always, Ron
