They do not wish to see, <br />Their entitlements decreased. <br />Or have their lives diminished by budget cuts. <br />But all agree, <br />The increase of the deficits have to be ceased. <br /> <br />And yet, <br />No one wants to leave their feasting on greed. <br />Or their addiction to delusions, <br />That those close to homelessness... <br />And already hungry living on less, <br />Have the ability to pay more from their pockets... <br />To allow those accustomed to being selfish, <br />Left to live high and mighty on debits and credits. <br />And other hypocrisies.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
