Poem appealing to the President for help for the hurting average citizen.
Dear Mr President, rescue me. With fees and interest, I'll never be free.

Student loan interest, is better than gold. While saving account interest, has been on hold.

ATM fees are exorbantingly high. I can't get ahead, no matter how hard I try.

Child support has me paying for life. While my youngest has children, and a wife.

We bail out banks,who rob us blind. The whole country is broke, we're all in a bind.

You talk about sacrifice, while the rich get rich. And all poor people, are left in a dicth.

They take social security , and let the disabled starve. Figuring ,what's the next entitlement to carve.

Bonus for failure, is backward you see. But they take all the money, from you and me.

America is going down because of greed. Give to the rich, poor people don't need.

You talked about change, as we poor go broke. Congress restructuring. is nothing but a joke.

Food stamps denied, to people people "cash poor". While the banks ask, for more and more.

All the laws, keep poor people down. But entitlements, make all congressmen frown.

Saving money is an impossible dream. Because the rich and congress, are all one" team".

Other countries "rise", as we begin to "fall". "Rebound", or "collaspe", is too close,too call.

. Your policies, are noble, but not what we need. Spread out the wealth,and eliminate greed.

Many civilizations, thought they'd never end. But, a new "world order", is about to begin.

We don't need to be wealthy, just able to survive. The "American dream", must be kept alive.

Time is crucial, to our success or decline. If we trully change, we'll all be "fine".
