Thoughts of long lasting life are wishes
It don’t last very long...

I am the US dollar
And I'm shrinking fast
One because of
Inflation and high interest rates
Pretty soon I won't
Be worth anything...

When Jesus entered the Temple
The Loan Sharks agreed
That people in need
Must be squeezed dry like a pimple...

Inflation puts some in the sewer
The Fed might raise rates
Until it abates
But their record makes us unsure...

An ounce,

Of compassion in practice,

Rates more than a ton of love

In theory, in God's eyes!

At Christmas Christ’s spirit did rise
But this time we’ll have a surprise
With tariffs on trade
And high rates to be paid
It’s prices that will reach the skies...

Trump Ignoring Spending

Trump as usual  spending did ignore,
While interest rates will start to soar;
Is a sick sinner;
Our wallet thinner,
And he never does donate to the poor.

Imagine if all the snow was black
Suicide rates would skyrocket, sure of that
Snowmen would be scary
Even scary evil-looking fairies 
Feeling a bit ominous, a bright smile I lack...

Great Caesar's ghost,
Hail dictating despot!
Overlord of Rome,
His soul still roams,
Big Julie's the magnate,
His motto still rates,
"We ain't dead yet!" Great!
All hail dictating despot,
Hail, great Caesar's ghost!!!...

Postage rates were rising;
we didn't mind one bit.
We used a bit of buck sense
and slid right in the groove.

We bought lots of forever 
stamps and didn't take the hit
and Uncle Sam went wanting
when push came to shove....

Bragging and boasting
is all people do.
Making it hard
for people
to break through. 
If only, if only 
compliments would be given.
Allowing the population
to be driven. 
Suicide rates
wouldn't rise. 
Happiness
would be
gleaming in
many eyes....

I will pay no more
I declare myself bankrupt
I cannot afford
the interest rates
All collateral is spent
so I must renege

So weary, so tired
of bearing these false burdens
Now I cut the cords
I cast off the load
and lay it before Thy feet
The debt is cancelled......

Fade away you hate,
Dashed away,
Your rates,
Slipping past all ages.

Down with rages,
The smile of your face,
Fade away to the pages,
For all heart to see,
For all hunger to quench.

The dialog we should go,
So we be away to fade,
As we make room in the shade....

Gun violence
Yet another - 
Madness!
When will it end?
Homicide rates are
Through the roof
And it
Continues
To rise
Mass shootings
Schools shot up - 
Now a new normal
Something needs to be done...
Now!
It's out of control!

The balance will never go down
Account holders shall only frown
Visa and Master 
Card decks fill with laughter
While consumers toil as the clown

Author's note:  The rates they charge and the time it takes to pay off revolving credit ensnares the naive and the desperate.  It is part of a plan....

How will you ever
afford yourself
the cost 
beyond your means
How will you pay
the price of longing
financing
your dreams
How will you leverage
the cost of hope
interest rates
on fire
How will you love
your heart 
in debt
— bankrupting desire

“A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at” Oscar Wilde.

Unlisted fascination,
Top-secret destination,
Occupation rates are low,
Paradise if you should go,
Ideal as your new resort,
All-inclusive, I'd have thought...
