Priorities

Name brand designer clothes: Gucci, Fendi, L.-V, Versace, Prada, and more. Name brand things is what she adores. So what ! She can not pay the rent . It's not the neighbors business that the lights and water are turn off. This is why the kids are at her mothers house. Don't get it twisted this girl is not lazy or crazy. Her priorities are all mixed up. She claims that she works a job; that doesn't pay enough. This girl desires a lifestyle she can not afford. Her Lexus was repossessed yesterday, and she feeln' somewhat gray. She rides the bus without any fuss. Remember- ing the conversations of her friends.The abund ance of things don't mean anything . When your kids go without ; and you're put out of your house. name brand things are nice in their proper place.

Crystal, this was a great write. Many people live outside of their means. Its ashame the children have to suffer for the materialistic nature of their parents. Whats worst is they pick up those same bad habits because this is what they see. Great write. ~Des Juan

You hit on what is truly wrng with today's society. Material things will all fade away. When you see kids whose parents don't work and are walking around with Designer clothes and sneakers you have to wonder why. God Bless. Vince

This is an interesting poem. It relates to real life in general. There are so many individuals who are trying to live about their means. It’s a mystery to me as to why they place themselves in such a bad situation. Great job! ~ Joseph
