I agree. Elected officials say what they need to to get elected, then what? What about those who can't vote? Good points in a very relevant tirade. I thought it was cleverly written stirred some anger in others. Good job.

i agree with this but for New Zealand. it is a promblem which effects every country. i read this thing once its about this man. that is counted as a mas murderer. but you know what no one can charge him because not only dose he rule there, he also has people the right people below him. he has a palace that could be likened to being made of gold while all those out around it strive just to find a bit of food that they think should get them through the week. greed is the route of all problems and those who have tried to point the world in the right way have failed because there is to many people up top that just want more and more money. they say they are trying to fix all the problems but all they are doing alongside making it worse is making more weapons.

Comment from Adam Smith
Your final point is noted. Our elected officials act only for the next election. What ever happened to a representative government? Didn't we once go to war over taxation without representation? Sheesh! This is a good rant and I agree with most of what you say. TIME magazine's last issue says the U.S. is trailing all other nations of wealthy peoples in education and affordable health care. Get ready for a long stretch of BIG GOVERNMENT that will be all about the next election... band aids for everyone, but not pain medication!

No kidding! Who can blame you for complaining? I have a teenage son with autism. He is the joy of my life, despite his differences, but fortunately, he is very high-functioning. I was able to get some financial help and some free programs for him when he was younger, and it make a big difference in his development. My heart goes out to any who are being deprived of much needed assistance. How old is your daughter?
Hugs,
Daizie

This is a good poem with a good theme and great message, especially for those who hold the reins of power in every country. The anger in the work is clearly shown. kudos.

I agree and when you feel like that the best thing to do is get in down on paper. The end result was fabulous Sixteezkid. It is like that here in Australia too.

Hey, it's all right to bitch. And you did so magnificently in this very moving, telling, and powerful poem. If I were the writer, I think I might have written "Money MESSES, Printing PRESSES..." instead of the reverse as you have written. I would imagine that your use of the invented word "stagflation" instead of "stagnation" was intentional. It certainly stand out. A good "venting" poem. mslyla

I see what you mean about "money messes", but that part is not about the financial mess. It's about how the Fed is printing too much money (money presses), which causes inflation (which means that over-printing causes a a mess - more problems). And stagflation is a real term, an economic cycle we went through in the 1970's. Having said all that (ha!), thank you so much for your review. Yeah, had to bitch. Was in a fit yesterday. Hope I clarified it for you. With regards, Sue

This poem was excellent and I felt your anger. Politics is so screwed up. I work for a car dealership and don't know if I will have a job in a few months because of the mess GM is in. I think Congress is so oblivious to what to do to fix the economy. I feel for you with the cuts that could help your daughter.

I'm a free-market gal. A true capitalist who believes if an industry can't make it, they should fall. But I have NEVER been on the fence like this before - regarding the Big Three. I mean, think about it. It doesn't just stop with them. All the OEM suppliers die instantly. The unemployment rate would soar! If the UAW had made many concessions on their first trip to D.C., maybe they all would have been ahead of the game right now. I do believe (whether I agree or not), that the government will not let the GM and Chrysler go down. But, it will be with heavy caveats - as it should be. Going to be a very interesting year! Hoping you can hang onto that job at the dealership. Hope they have their inventories and cash positions strong. Thanks very much for your review. Much appreciated. Sue
Comment from Roisin
You've done a great job with this poem. It's topical and you've written it in a very interesting way. Your short sharp lines adds to the urgency of what you're saying and the rhymes scattered throughout are perfect. I really love it. I'm sorry for what you're going through with your daughter and I hope that you get something sorted for her soon.
Warmest regards.
