- Frozen Assets -

Missing image

Liquid riches,

   tailpipe suffocation by the gallons,

                stolen behind masks of WMD invasion,

                            paper society leaves behind trail of black ink ~

 

Living alone, below empty bank accounts,

   buying on credit, to work off debt,

                gravitational gasoline sputters,

                           crashing stock market in lifes' race to win ~

 

Frozen assets,

   interest rates all cubed-ice,

                melting in pockets of the wealthy,

                            thawing economy rising above necks of common man...

 

                                                                                       ...d

                                                                                           r

                                                                                           o

                                                                                          w

                                                                                          n

                                                                                           i

                                                                                             n

                                                                                                g ~

 

Multiple mortgages foreclosed, blackness looms,

   crops in the fields rot, tears of young children ferment,

                exports sold abroad to cheapest buyers,

                            ...consequences aftershock,

 

                                                                           ...bankrupt ~

    Ouch you have put forth such a black world as it is seen by many as of late. I can't even imagine just how dark it will be come as September starts to fade, and people try and keep their homes warm.
    Lots of blackness is truly approaching. sigh. your words ring hard and so very true.
    Thanks for joining in.
    Warm thoughts.

    Sure fits the "Blackness" prompt. Talk about depressing. Hey, I don't watch the news anymore - too black - so is the paper! We need to pray for better times ahead that's for sure or Jesus to come back soon. Surely He's heading this way by now, don't ya think? I liked the way you did drowning down the side of the page. Neat-o!

    Well now...that was black enough for me...

    Love your words...and format
    I guess you may be taking the journey...in reverse...
    it is a good thing for all of this to collapse...
    it will make people realize, it's family, friends,
    health and love that make this a beautiful world not...
    wealth.......
    Write on!
    Best wishes in the contest!
