Manifesto
We paid our premiums Lord, year after year,
It was expensive but for nothing, now I do fear.
We don't understand how it is possibly right,
To be paid for our loss, we have to now fight.
Isn't that what insurance is made for?
We lost our home, and the clothes that we wore.
The hurricane, it took our whole house away,
The cars, the boat, but they said "it's okay".
They gave us a claim number, and never called back
After a bit we knew something was off track.
So we called, and they said they would reach out to the boss,
To see if they could cover this hurricane loss.
After much frustration, a letter comes in the mail.
The company was insolvent, and our claim was a fail.
They hadn't paid us a dime, and the company left the state
They don't care about us, and this is our fate.
Pennies on the dollar, they offer us months later,
It's time to lawyer up, this company is a traitor.
We pay thousands to cover our home each time
For them to pay us nothing, is an unforgivable crime.
