Another excuse, you have lost control of your money and do not know how to reclaim it. Now you are wondering how this did happen.

Recession is the upside of depression as though it makes a difference to the one that have lost everything. Recession and depression have the same father. They leave you busted.

The media tell me it is alright you repeat it daily telling me daily it is getting better but, I still can't feed my family. You have taken my job, my house; my savings and you are pissing on my leg and telling me its rain.

As long as the media deceive me I'm suppose to believe things are not so bad. Ten thousand lost their jobs last week but, it's getting better.

So today I postpone jumping out of the window to wait and see what tomorrow will bring. My friend went on and jumped because he lost his faith.

It is all a big lie and now who shall I blame? Who will be the one to go to jail for losing my life savings. No one will pay.

Who shall I look to when my family is living in the card board box? I did what I was supposed to do; I was the devoted and loyal worker. I did what I was instructed to and still lost.

Oh! I forgot recession is the slump and depression is the dump. Do you see the difference
