The Time,
is
late January
2009!

Tens of Millions
of ordinary
people are suffering
now!

They are praying
for
a
miracle!

They are praying
for
a
National Lottery
Win!

Their Homes
are being
repossessed!

They do not
know
which way
to turn!

Every morning
on
the
door-step
drops
yet
more,

News
of
despair!

It is
no joking,

that,
even wooden
furniture,
is
being
burnt!

So that
Families
can
stay
warm!

As for,
the “Local Dump”
it
is
doing a roaring
trade!

In
ordinary People
scavenging
desperately,

for
fire-wood!

The essential thing
each Day,

is to keep
some heat ,
at Home!

Or freeze!

For it is,
the depth
of
Winter!

Also,
food ,
when you have no money,
is in short
supply!

So to eat,

is
the other,
very big
Daily
worry!

The result is
that
Food is being
stolen,
where it can!

From Shops
and
Farms!

How else
can
the
un-working Man
survive!

Also,
now,
nothing is
wasted,

from the
Table!

What used to be
thrown away,

is reinvented
into
Tomorrow’s,

“one”
meal!

The temptation
for many
honest people
is,

now,

I am sad
to report,

is
to
steal!

Something else
has
also occurred!

Forgotten about
old fashioned
food
such as,

Rabbits and
Pheasants,
Pigeons
and any bird
that is edible
too,

are fair
Game!

Liver,
or offal,
of any kind,

is
a
delicacy!

So in this,
the worst recession,
ever known

and created
by greedy Men!

Life for the
Tens of Millions,

of ordinary People,

is
getting
worse!

They are
the
ones,

who are
suffering
the
most!

Not the Bankers.
Not the Politicians,
Not the Rich!

Unless of course
they
spent
and
spent
unwisely!

It is
the
Tens of Millions
of
the
poor!

And
where,
will it all
end?

With
misery!

That is
an absolute
fact!

For
sure!

And let us hope,
with change
too!

Because
this
must
never
ever
be
permitted
to
happen
again!

For
let History
not forget
that
it is
so often,

the
innocent
that get hurt
the
most!
