Can'T Get Ahead

It's such a small death, This being worn down By inches, by cuts Bleeding the wallet Dry, to feed the thirst The Legion of bills Bring to the door, Insatiate Thirst for money. The bills come Money goes More arrive. Sighs, rage. Balance: Null.

Excellent use of this form and a very, very clever write here William !! Reflects the times as they've always been, but perhaps more painful today for many who have definitely been spoiled ... I'm so glad I've always known how to live "poor" even when I had money ... LOL ... Anyway, enough of my blah, blah, blah ... congratulations on this great write featured this week !!
