day ONE THOUSAND and EIGHTY SIX

The Same Old Song

I started work at age sixteen,
Over thirty years ago, and in
That time we've been through
Depressions, recessions and
Other financial crises. Through
Affluence and austerity.
Boom (so called ), and bust.
But one thing has never
Changed. The poor stay poor.
The rich get richer.
