Just a short poem ....
I can still breathe
My job was surplused recently
But I can still breathe
My health insurance will expire soon
And I can still breathe
My savings will be exhausted in not too long
I will still be able to breathe, I hope
...
Hope is what the world is living on
The economy is a road paved with black ice
We are stumbling along, hurtling along an unknown path
Hoping that the weather will be better
The road less treacherous
We more in putative control over our destiny
Hope is what Obama brings to this country
Nigh to the whole world
Whacked with loss of trust and confidence
The world of Madoffs and Thains and Rajus
A world depleted of the human goodwill
Where dog eats greedy dog
Hope springs eternal that the new world will be a better one
For our children and their children
That once again Ram Rajya can be established upon this earth
Hope that we will be able to breathe easy again
