Balance


   Balance this please!
   I'm on my knees.
   Misplacing tens of thousands of people.

   Legal tax paying people with families,
   Across the seas.
   Balance this please!

   Businesses left to float,
   While others begin to bloat.
   Balance this please!

   Is this too much to comprehend?
   How about 1+1=2.
   I'm not through!

   Groceries and gas continue to rise,
   Faster than hens on an upside-down slide.
   Watching my 401K disappear in less than a year.

   Balance this please!
   I'm on my knees.
