Wall Street Blues
By S!.F!. Reborn

Brother, can you spare a rhyme!?
Since the crash of '08,
I sleep by the third rail,
Of the NJ Transit line!.

Counting 750 billion sheep,
As I go to sleep!.
Wanna buy a house!?
It's dirt cheap!.
Sow and reap!.

Big banks do a boogie with our profits,
Think Big Oil will make them drop it!?
STOP IT!
There's my soup line, the slops fit,
For a king of the curb I was kicked to!.
The government's in a depression,
They tricked you!.

Look at the Dow,
Each day on the news!.
See why I caught the
Wall Street Blues!.

See where I caught the
Wall Street Blues!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Blues are singing and it ain't jazz!
Walls tumble and columns crumble
boogie man now the repo man
singing blues, feeling blue, blue boo!

Great poem!. Going to be a lot more songs sung about this one!. Arlo Gutherie riding the rails again!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

How very true my friend, how very true!. We do seem to be in a bit of a mess don't we!? But it is nothing new is it!? I think that for many folks they have always lived under depression conditions and try as they may there is always some government tin god holding them there!.
Your poem is very good for it seems to say "I have been living like this since the great depression of the 30's and nothing has changed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Never been rich, always been poor
Never asked for a whole lot more!.
Don't need to worry about bonds and stocks
Or what the time is on all those clocks!.
I'm healthy and happy,don't have a whole lot
I wish everybody had what I got!.
It's only money, it can't buy you health,
I wish everyone this kind of wealth!.

Your poem expresses my new found yearning to keep my life as simple as needed!. My 401K is essentially non-existent now and I will be working for another 10 years at least, if my knees last!. I'm glad I'm not alone, all my friends!. real and virtual will be together!. I agree with Mag,
a great blues piece!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I should have taken my 401(K) and put it under the mattress!. They're saying 3-5 years to recover what we lost!. I can't even think past tomorrow any more!.

I'll be singin' your song with you for a long time!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Pocket full of hot air
Nothing to spare
No crops to share
Feds up to there
In houses white
They sat at night
Plotted our plight
Turned the light
Made wrong right
Sent boys to fight
Stole all in sight
Plain in planning
Flames now fanning
You and me demanding
They start unhanding

The reigns to justice

Well said, Semper!

Well, maybe this is why I never could have trust into this kind of things!.
I have always seen them - the Stock Exchange transactions - as a Big Lottery, as like playing the Roulette!. And now look !!!
What are they buying/selling in there, on the Wall Street!? Dreams filled with "Goodwill" air, speculation !!?!
I do not know!. What a hard work to lie !.!.!.

The real money is into land, concrete/bricks, human hands' work !.!.!. This is the real, the only value in time!. Not that paper!. Probably the same Mr!. Ford thought some time !.!.!.
Even the houses became thinner and thinner these modern times - more ecological, they say !!! The winds are sweeping them off !.!.!.
IT'S ALL ABOUT money! More, and more, and more !.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
