Senior Citizens/Our Future
Life sucks
And guess what
It only gets worse
Years of hard work
And bosses you hate
No pension plan
Now Social security check is always late
No medicare
Or decent housing
Nursing homes when you’re too much to handle
Children doctors straight from college campuses
Brittle bones
And lose of mind
Uncontrollable bodily functions
Limbs that won’t answer your command
Ungrateful kids who don’t have time to hold your hand
Massive heart attacks
Triple by-passes
Victims of strokes
And dirty dealers looking to cash in on old folks
27 dollars worth of food stamps
Your government says old people don’t need to eat that much
Growing old in America should be better
Blame the baby boomers
Your time is here
But you’ve done nothing and their reality
Is now what you should fear~
