No Name Poem

no name poem
because 
that is all I can afford

when you are poor
life conspires
to keep you there

“pull up your boot straps”
What boots?

there is a price on every thing
except faith, that’s free
lots of it floatin’ around

can you tell me 
where I can put it?

Patricia, I'm right there with you. Promises of a better tomorrow always seem to cost money we don't have. You'd think by now the gov't would get it.
