Gasoline Prices
The gasoline prices keep going up. we have
no idea of when they will stop. We went to
war because of the oil, but it didn't work.
we are still in deep trouble.
The rich are getting richer and poor are
getting pooer. The big companies are making
billions, while we are here struggling to make
ends meet.
It doesn't get better as days go by. We have to
decide on what to buy - if it's gas for our cars or
pantry supplies. Our jobs we must keep or wind
up in the streets.
What can we do? Our wages don't go up, but the
gas prices keep going up and up. If people are rich
they don't care. They have money to spare. But the
rest of us are left almost bare.
Should we go on a general strike and boycut their
gas? All I lnow is that we have to get out of this
mess. We need to stick together. We need a strong
voice to support us. One man alone can't do the job.
He will be labeled as an instigator.
We should get together that is all I know, or we will
all wind up in the hole. They say we are all equal, but
I don't think so, because I don't see us getting our
share and that my friends - is not fair...
