Struggling

Everyone I speak with

Is struggling,

Struggling with what

We’ve come thru

Where we’re going,

Struggling

With schemes,

Madoff rightly illegal

Why the bonuses

For the Wall Street

Clowns,

Why handouts

For banker buffoons,

Struggling

With people still losing

Houses,

Struggling without jobs,

Seniors

Stretching ends,

The sick

Suffering without

Health care,

Single moms

Struggling,

What will I do,

We can tell the

Egg to larva to pupa

To butterfly

Story,

But where and what

Will we be flying

To.
