Recession Leads To Depression.

Carpe Diem, Literal translation of seize the day. How can one do that, With all this money at stake? Economic depression, A sustained downturn. I have just one question. Where is all the concern? Greedy palm itchers, Rival to communism. The workforce overturned, Jobs sent to Mexico. All of this spurned, On hard-working families. The community targets, Just one foe. Is it the government's fault? Where has all the money gone? APOCALYPSE NOW. What are they not telling us? Money spent on useless government organizations. Cutting school programs; When these young minds predict our future. All money is; A medium that can be exchanged for goods and services. Values; Importance, desirability. Choose between what we want and what we need. "Unnecessary? Cowering down here in sludge and pollution..learning nothing" APOCALYPSE NOW. Do your part, and I will do mine.

Your concerns are not only well penned, but justified, Monet. Wish there was something an individual could do to turn things around, but it will have to be a group effort. And I sometimes think Washington has turned a deaf ear to our concerns. Well done! Love, Carolyn
