Helping Hands

We all need a little help
now and then especially
during these times of uncertainty
where jobs are scarce and
money is hard to come by
the nation is suffering
from greedy politicians 
who want a little extra in their pocket
for what? I ask
when you have money
you greedy bastards
your time will come
but for now let's focus on 
helping ourself 
and our neighbor
get back on track
I know it's hard but we gotta try 
because at this rate 
we won't last much longer
that's why I'm stressing this message
hoping that my words will 
inspire someone to do something great
something that would inspire us all
Who am I? 
You ask 
I'm someone just like you
struggling everyday to make ends met
to make sure that there's food on the table
that's who I am and 
that's why I'm stressing 
this message because at the 
end of the day
 we all need a little help
