Poem
We the old and broken, have become the pawns in the grand game of politics. We are as in the game of chess of the lowest esteem, expendable if not worse unwanted, a barganing chip. For three years we haven't even received a cost of living increasee while their income they have increased handsomely. They have as they so often do broken their promise to us. Social security was a promise made by them, that we paid for when we were able to work, extracted from every pay check we earned. Those revenues where to be put in a trust for us to draw from when the time came that we had need of them. However our government for decades have used those funds as they pleased, for things other than what they were intended for. Why am I not surprised? because our so called public servants have broken countless promises and in the process lined their pockets from the spoils of their deceptions. The Bill of Rights and the Constitution they have shredded and the first casulity was the truth, now we are the second. Most of our fatrhers fought and many died to defend the rights that they have cast into the the trash heap. Our national debt is now beyond any hope of us ever repaying, robbing the young of any hope of a future or even a job, taxes they will have to pay tremendous to pay for there folly. China Told President Obama, We're not going to lend you any more, sure can't say I blame them, probably never pay back what we already borrowed form them. England is burning because of the same folly of the politicians, won't be surprised if the same thing takes place here. People with no hope and no future what do they expect. They'll go on filling their pockets with the taxes we all pay, the don't care it's all well and fine for them. Will give themselves another big pay increse next year, you just wait and see. Like mother Hubbard everyone elses cubbard is bare, no bone for the doggies anymore. They have destroyed everything Along with, "One nation under God". This once upon a time good nation has quite literally gone to the "Dogs". The only Thing that I can say is that I wouldn't have said before, I'm ashamed of what this nation has became.
