The lord giveth, the government taketh away
A world where the poor stay poor
Where the minimum wage is below our needs
Where fat cats up their prices
And government is blind
Where energy costs are crushing us
And we have to decide food or heating
No one will help us survive
Everyone is to busy helping themselves
And they wonder why so many smoke
So many drink to forget
Take drugs to stop the pain that is life today
The world is drowning
Under political greed
Corrupt governments
And the rich not giving a funk
The lord giveth
He can also taketh away

Very true and a nice write!!!!
BTW- you must first help yourself. Many today look to the government to care for them and the rest of us pay for that laziness and thus your neighbor maybe one of the reasons we all suffer. Wake up people. Step up and earn the piece of real-estate your two feet take up.
See you got me fired up :)
I feel better now- well done.

/'/No one will help us survive/'/..what an interesting statement. For what its worth, It made me think - if I could meet with the "us" in this verse. I/'/d want to ask /'/What exactly do you want from me?/'/
Because it isnt the government that pays you---i do. The government doesn/'/t have any money; they use mine. Every person who works helps to pay everyone who doesnt work.
so here is my proposal to you: I am tired of working. I will guarantee to get you a full-time job, if, as long as you hold that job, you guarantee to l support me as well.
Deal?

| Forget the Lord, he has nothing to do with it. The rich will always steal from the poor, and they don/'/t need too! If Mr Strawberry-hair gets to the White House......may your God help us all.(I actually believe that Republicans will not let it happen) |

The true great evil of the world is the central banking cartel. they own and run everything and are responsible for the state of things today. I will help you remove the blinders if you want....it/'/s a red pill, blue pill thing. The red pill is not for everyone....I/'/ve seen it destroy people. Your choice.
