What Has Happened To Society

today we live
tomorrow we barely survive
nickel and dimed to death
over worked and under paid
the longer we live
the more damage we do to ourselves
where is the happy medium
where young families could raise their children
on one paycheck
where society was appealing
and the community was supportive
and family was more important
then job security issues
today we live
tommorrow is another day
tomorrow we wait for the ourcome
