    Why is the world the way it is.....

    Why is the world the way it is,
    No smoking signs, no loitering.
    Dont park here, Cant shoot deer.
    Dont eat chicken,dont eat raw meat.
    Read the warning signs on the label, dont sit at that table.
    Dont spank your kids, let them explore.
    Now my daughter has a child to bore.
    Why pay taxes, so the rich can have stashes.
    Make sure you vote, what does it matter.
    Tommorow the president will be on the news, being nasty with someone in the oval office.
    Make sure you put money back for gas, wont be able to make it to work, then get fired.
    Try to get foodstamps, they say no, sell your car. How am I ever gonna get far.
    Leave me alone, cant even afford a phone, need new shoes, damn I got the blues.....

    This hits the spot for us that continually put on socks to find our toes poking through them. I like it shay.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
