Tsunami Dreams
Dreams
crushed
Beneath
tsunamis called reality
As
waves of despair
Crash
beyond lines of shore
Bill
collectors call
Yet
demanding more.
Triumphant
tears laugh
Having
defeated their opponents
Winning
grief
While
assistance clerks shake heads
In
utter disbelief
Nobody
to help
On
comes another tidal wave
Thinking,
kids and school
Clothes,
car, food
Where
can I save?
Emminent
questions
No
answers to date
Flooding
priorities
The
life boat too far
Welcome
today’s economy
For
this is where we are.
