OF INFLATION AND REXESSION...BE AWARE...

CATEGORY

Just sat here listening to today’s news

And decided to share an elder’s views:-

The progression of today’s recession

Is not an alarming surprise to the

Survivors like us;

Our ancestors taught us the allegorical

Meaning of, “…In God we trust.”

That nickel, dime, and full quarter jar,

Has always taken us far:-

 

There was a time when the high price of gas

Was in cents;

Yet, for the striving working poor, it’s hard to

Imagine what that meant

For those blessed to have an inherited mortgage

Or ever-present rent.

 

Yet, from Monday to late Saturday night, we were able

To empty the jar

To buy expensive gas in cents—to make it to our church

No matter how far.

There, we received divine wisdom and guidance for

The striving meek

As to how we will be able to make and jar those cents

To make it through the week:-

 

So, just know that you don’t have to go out there and spend

50+ grand on a so-called dream car, 

When that old “pink-slip” one can un-leaded take you and

All the family just as far:-

So, in these trying testing times of abject rising inflation

Let not your wants push your hopes and faith into recession.
