Question: How much interest are you paying!?

Pay Day

In cash we trust
On bended knees
Worship high cards
Eating the fees
Closets of clutter
Gathering costs
In gluttonous fountains
Rusty coins tossed
Get what you’re after
Forget those who need
Souls sold for show
Buy in to the greed
Noses turned skyward
Couldn’t care less
Singular society
Ignoring the rest
For all that you bought
After you it will stay
When bones come to roost
What price will we pay!?

Our greed has us all living in a waistland spread!.

I was working on a similar theme to this myself recently, I'll have to pull my finger out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Money, get away!.
Get a good job with good pay and youre okay!.
Money, its a gas!.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash!.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team!.

Money, get back!.
Im all right jack keep your hands off of my stack!.
Money, its a hit!.
Dont give me that do goody good bullsh!t!.
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a lear jet!.

Money, it's a crime!.
Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie!.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today!.
But if you ask for a raise its no surprise that they're
Giving none away!.

Huhuh! I was in the right!
Yes, absolutely in the right!
I certainly was in the right!
You was definitely in the right!. that geezer was cruising for a
Bruising!
Yeah!
Why does anyone do anything!?
I dont know, I was really drunk at the time!
I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2!. he was asking
Why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
Screaming and telling him why he wasnt coming up on freely!.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

that is great!. it really hits on the consumer mentality of our lives- new, more, better, digging ourselves in holes of debt that is hard to get out of!. society might be a little better off if they would think of what they could do or give to others once in awhile instead of always getting the next big thing for themselves!. you can't take it with you, but while your here you could help make someones' life better!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The title says it all - Pay Day will come, and it will be too late then to try to justify Western greed!. We take too large a slice of the cake, and close our eyes to the people picking up the crumbs from our table!.
I am as guilty as the next man, but I am not comfortable with my guilt!.

Well said!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Very good!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. too many living beyond their means on plastic, So sad!.
From every direction our youth especially gets the message, buy,buy,
buy!. Brain washed to spend, spend, spend!.
And usa with little industry, our strength sold out from under us, much too long ago!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ha! One I can really sink my teeth into! Zero!. Zip!. Nada!. Nada damned dime!. One credit card, paid in advance (drives 'em nutty)!. Couple of months ago, received a check from them!.!.!.they apparently cannot
(because of some law) keep a balance of over $200!.00 (Cr!. bal!.) in their system!. We recycle and reuse!. As the old saw during the Depression went!.!.!."Waste not, want not"!.

Better be the current motto, the way things are going!.

(Hmmm, I appear to be recycling punctuation!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

In youth - we consume - all the fads, trinkets and gadgets!. In old age - we look around us - so much STUFF to get rid of - to make our passing less "messy" to handle!. Maybe something will be prized by our descendants - maybe something will be of value!. ?Www@QuestionHome@Com
