Tsunami Dreams


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.
