1933 the Great Depression hit
" I feel I no longer fit"- his tweet
Free market economist, Ludwig Von Mises
Ably pinpointed economic diseases.
Yet, when we’re told the feds fixed the great depression,
Ludwig knew it was caused by fed intervention.
Born in the latter part of The Great Depression
Don't know how my parents managed with eight dependants
I was the last in '35
But we all survived
Growing veggies in the yard avoiding senseless obsolescence
Mother is a child of the greatest generation
from an immigrant family that found a haven
and learned to survive the hard times that came to an entire nation~
the Great Depression left no one unscathed,
World War Two took their sons and daughters brave
so the promise of freedom could continue to blaze.
one crack .. all i need
growing trough the concrete / a
rose ..look at her bloom

no matter how deep you are .. and how thick the concrete is
you'll overcome the great depression .. and come out stronger
Wise to emulate
“The Greatest Generation”
Depression Era
Hard times faced with dignity
Heroes rose from common men
*Entry for Brian’s Ekphrasis contest. Based on the book “The Greatest Generation”
by Tom Brokaw, a truly inspiring account of how people met the financial challenges
of The Great Depression.
Together, my parents faced two world wars, the great depression, floods, fires, and some things that would bring most people to their knees. Imagine just where I would be if they had just decided that things were too rough and chucked in the towel. At the time, I didn’t think they had a lot to give. But looking back, I’m amazed at how much I got.
steak’s what I wanted
bologna is what I got—
never went hungry
The sun sets on the dark streets
Tears leave eyes as they begin to grieve
Life is hard for all
But they struggle on, trying not to fall
Food is scarce and people starve
Words of emotion in walls are carved
Houses are taken and the streets become home
Bankruptcy evident from too many loans
Whole families looking towards the sun
Remembering the times when they use to have fun
They pray together hoping for the best
Saying the Great Depression is just God's test
