Billions

Wouldn't I just love
to dip a toe into
the "B" in billions.

Those who have
throwing figures
into hot air
green paper airplanes
their share.

He's ok he believes
at nine million
while another says
he'll take a dollar.

Banks and credit card
businesses
lucky so they think.

Saving the idiots
giving out free
white collar grease.

Times are ah' changing
for better or worse
this needs to happen.

Balloons blow up
as walls crumble.

Soon some wealthy
will be strugglers
as many who work
the dirt...

I say bring it on
what the hell else
have I got to do
but struggle on.

Makes no diff.
to me.

Author notes

What a bunch of cry babies. My first few years out of the Navy I wouldn't collect unemployment. Thinking of it as a hand out. I dug ice ditches for a local store for 50 bucks a week, Fed and hayed horses, rebuilt counters in a greenhouse for another 50 bucks. I paid rent that way. I walked across the street dug clams, picked mussles in 0* degree temps for food. I even got chased once by geese on the beach. I was gonna try and strangle one for meat hahaha... but... he was too tough for me.
You know sometimes the humor in life comes from actually living. But... just to dip a toe into the "B" in billions. I could put people to work and I would work right beside them.
