Counter

Distracted from dwelling on what they are selling…& what they are selling is debt.
Commercial intrusions on storied illusions; we’re never escaping the net.

A shilling, a pence & a pound of our flesh can be owed without signing a thing.
We live on the other side of the tracks; but we have nice cars & we’re wearing bling.

We spend what we don’t have & we live on account; with no chances ahead to save.
Most boats are sinking & no one is blinking, counting on currency to behave.

There’s no way to climb up slight ladders of ice; formed from what little that trickles down.
Poor folks can’t endure drought, without cure, they have aught; to survive when blight comes to town.

Aristocracy always prefers it this way…where only they can save the day.
So, invest in agility & sustainability; break up standard play.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
