People renting out their souls
A nation stumbling blindly…… trembling…. leaders fumbling to the side
The old and faithful bowed low by the spectre of debt
While the young too stressed to sleep consider......what next?
The faithful husband working 14 hours...... stooped shouldered and head bowed finally drags his carcass through the front door of both his dream and his nightmare
His wife watches…… fear gnawing at the pit of her stomach …tightening its ever growing grasp till all hope is abandoned...... can he survive the pace....yet she dare not express it out loud …. Seeking relief and reassurance for fear it will become truth
what will happen.....should she have to raise the children on her own
...who will be their saviour?
Multinationals going to the wall
their bones bleaching under the investors stare....Yet CEO's.... brown under the foreign sun
The dream is further away......why
Money isn't everything I hear them cry ....but reality begets the lie
Hearts harden and souls freeze
Things kills the spirit
Yet still they ply the plastic trying to numb their souls
buy.. buy…. buy...don't stop to listen to hear your hearts quite yearning….. to hear that still small voice that tells you of your hearts longing....
Interest free…. finance available…… fulfilment just inside the box
Yet somewhere in the blackness of the starry starry night the tender voice is calling..... Pleading..... Listen to me
Yet day evaporates the slender hope while cash registers ring and leaders cry..... Economics will save the day
