Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

Hard Times In the Usa

Hard Times in the USA

By Elton Camp 

The desperately poor were once out of sight
So most of us weren’t faced with their plight

But some years ago, disaster started to begin
When the economy went into a bad tailspin

So that people who never expected to be poor
How they would ever survive, became unsure

Employment was lost and more couldn’t find
Millions of folks have got in a terrible bind

Even the moneyed who on interest depended
Commenced to see their principal expended

Those living in areas which were upscale
Saw their housing investment begin to fail

Some with pensions and insurance secure
All of a sudden found they weren’t sure

Recessions in the past saw thing rebound
This time, the economy isn’t turning around

In drastic cut-backs, we see more increase
It’ll get worse unless the recession will cease
