Unpleasant Ones

UNPLEASANT ONES Money obligations: Parking tickets, mortgage, credit cards All sorts of insurance: Life, car, house, dental and health Are overbearing and unmentionable Disenchanting, unpleasant ones Crying out loud: “Till death do us part” Assets have corresponding dues Unavoidable liabilities, Valid or invalid reasons Are unthinkable! It entail fines and penalties The more unpleasant ones The more pleasant ones if you settle! Although non-payment Carries no imprisonment Guaranteed by the Constitution But it only turn to excitement Interest incurring, mounting balances Doubly unpleasant and annoying!

I think it's called the disappearing middle class Dalila. It just never seems to stop and I think you echo the thought of so many of us who are sick of having our money stolen by the powers that be. You see, you strike a chord!
