Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

Dealing With Life's Frustrations

Dealing With Life’s Frustrations

By Elton Camp  

Are you so tired of a pointless rat race
An endless barrage of problems to face

A mortgage so large it’ll never end
Credit card debt too big to reign in

Utility bills that constantly increase
Unexpected expenses that never cease

Payment on your car is way too steep
Gas that will never again be cheap

Constant fear that you might get fired
But of pressure at work really tired

Maybe it is finally time reality to see
From it all, simply cut yourself free

Don’t dismiss this idea out of hand
Move to a cave & live off the land

Audrey Haick January 7, 2012 at 2:56 PM It looks as if we're coming to that, Elton..but man can adapt if it comes to that, I suspect. I pray that everyone sees it this way..take it day by day. Love, annalise Elton Camp January 7, 2012 at 3:01 PM People are truly adaptable. To fail to adapt is to die. My family lives below its "means" in an old, but nice house fully paid for. Also our newest car is a 1999 Toyota. It would be easy to start paying on a "McMansion" and to buy a new Benz, but we don't want to go that route. Thanks for reading and for your comment. Elton
