The Dreaded Day

Today is the Dreaded Day That many will be put out on the street And others won’t have any power And others won’t have any food to eat. And other’s children won’t have a Christmas They won’t have any presents by a tree They won’t even have a tree at all They’ll feel lucky if they get to eat. This is American reality today People are living on the streets People who could never have imagined That this is where that they would be. They look at themselves in the mirror And wonder where did they go wrong They live in this great country How long can this go on? These are highly educated people With their Masters and Phds Why is there no work for them? There is no place for them to work How is it that this can be? And then there are the other ones Who just want to work for an honest wage And there is no work for them as well No chance of employment at any place. The weeks and months have been turned into years by now They’ve long since lost track of how many days. There has to be a solution For our country to get back to where it’s been Something is going to have to give For all Americans to live as men. We didn’t ask to live like a bunch of animals To be begging for food on the streets We deserve to have some dignity We should be able to work for what we need. So damn all those who have caused this financial mess Those who have injured all those of us with pride Let them live with the devil until eternity ends It’ll be a fitting punishment for what they’ve done to others in this life. God bless all of those who are fighting every day just to survive Who now don’t even have enough to eat God bless their defenseless children Who continue to struggle and live in need. One has to continue to believe in goodness That those who do the right thing will somehow win And that American Prosperity and Industry Will return to our country once again. Today is the Dreaded Day That many will be put on the street And others won’t have any power And others won’t have any food to eat.
