Greedsome Collectors

The cares of the world, are weighing me down. To the point, that I wanted my thoughts; to drown. Bills owed, finding their way to the mail box. I want to pay them, but; I have too many roadblocks. Collectors harassing day in and day out on the telephone. Even on the "do not call" list they still won't leave you alone. I try and develop a plan to suppress the harassment. That didn't last very long, or even bring any appeasement. The greedsome collectors send a pile, that is a waste of trees. Just to collect their "grub" and jacked up hideous fees! Then the greedsome collectors called me at work! I called them back mad and was about to go berserk! Then I received a whopping medical bill. I felt so sick with disgust, I think I feel "ill". In the mail was a pink envelope and what was inside? An insurance bill that read "if not paid" then services denied. I come home from my job feeling somber and "spent". I opened up my check, of course; the government took their "cent". They say when it rains, it pours. Life’s tedious doldrums but, a different day; and more downpour!

Brutally honest poem and very sad. There must be so many people out there feeling exactly the same but few could express it that well
