Today’s recession gets under my skin,
But our greedy politicians are a sure clear win,
Pure greed and selfishness through and through,
But to top it all of, we’re now plagued with swine flu!
But in reality, my skin is my mask,
I hide behind it from all the decay,
Living in today’s world is such a task,
Our children and elders have no say.
Today my skin is itchy,
So I scratch away the surface,
I’m sorry for being so bitchy,
But the truth is always honest!
I'm glad you chose to voice this issue Claire....For we forever slip deeper into the grey of global depression....Somethings never change do they....The goverments (super powers) have alot to answer to....yet they forever point the finger at us....the small people.....Very well composed piece, and one many will relate to...thanks for your voice my dear friend...10+

I can relate to this poem, the unfairness within our culture should be a rich source of inspiration but so often it is overlooked.
