Midlife Ponderance

 Midlife Ponderance

What could be the point of having a dream
when you have reached the middle years of life?
Half of your time has passed, and now it seems
you’re just waiting for the end to arrive,
like a wide-eyed deer caught in the headlights
of a Mack Truck going thirty over.
All pursuits now are a roll of the dice
where chances of success are much lower;
Yet I can’t give up these dreams that remain,
the ones that aren’t shattered to shards at my feet,
though success unlikely, I shall refrain
from giving up and admitting defeat.
Now charge forth with drive and hunger aching!
The point? It’s Purpose of my own making!

You say six seven.

But let's focus on one ten.

It's a noble cause.

Song of the Damned

SONG OF THE DAMNED 
(It helps to sing it...)

If you bleed by the gallon,
 then they’ll bill ya by the ounce.
 If you take too long to pay,
 then the legal team will pounce.
They demand their pound of flesh,
 they want your arm and leg…
 They’ll go for all you have
 no matter how you beg.
 
Soooo the poor are thus made poorer
and our life is thus made worse 
and all so the shareholder
can overflow his purse!
We're damned for all we do,
We're damned for all we try,
We'll be damned when it’s over too
cuz they'll bill us just to die!
 
The energy company is 
Raisin’ them rates again,
and it’s the working family man
that has to take it on the chin
They don't care bout me and you
long as they get their bottom line,
and they'll damn us to the darkness
if we short ‘em half a dime...

Soooo the poor are thus made poorer
and our life is thus made worse 
and all so the shareholder
can overflow his purse!
We're damned for all we do,
We're damned for all we try,
We'll be damned when its over too
cuz they'll bill us just to die! 
 
Children told to borrow money,
 encouraged by their schools,
 to “Seek degrees and good careers”,
 otherwise they’re fools.
And Poor ol mom and dad,
 wishing their kids some better fates,
encourage these “student loans”,
 thinking all will turn out great…
 
Soooo the poor are thus made poorer
and our life is thus made worse
and all so the shareholder
can overflow his purse!
We're damned for all we do,
We're damned for all we try,
We'll be damned when it’s over too
cuz they'll bill us just to die!
 
The cost of livin’, what it is,
We can barely afford our rent,
 utilities and groceries,
 hardly leaving us a cent.
Then those bankin’ bastards
demand what they claim is theirs,
 Oh, We’re living off borrowed hope,
while they live off their daddy’s shares.
 
Soooo the poor are thus made poorer
and our life is thus made worse 
and all so the shareholder
can overflow his purse!
We're damned for all we do,
We're damned for all we try,
We'll be damned when it’s over too
cuz they'll bill us just to die! 
 
Uncle Sam is raising taxes,
on what we make and spend,
he gets us coming and going,
and what's it for again?
He says it’s to help the people,
to help elevate the poor,
but what he doesn't give to foreigners,
he uses to fund another war...
 
Soooo the poor are thus made poorer
and our life is thus made worse 
and all so the shareholder
can overflow his purse!
We're damned for all we do,
We're damned for all we try,
We'll be damned when it’s over too
cuz they'll bill us just to die!
