Money
April 21, 2010
The signs add up
Six figures
Five zeros
Four years
Three people
Two sides
One broken person
As each day passes
One more dollar is taken
From the one person’s heart
The investment in her
Is wasted as per
The values of everyone else
Her account was a twenty-two year CD
Now the investors want a return
They want to be shown
That they were right to invest
Yet only seventeen years in
They have declared
Her life a waste
She has not lived up to their standards
Now they force her to change
Be what we want
Become what we want
Stop being a waste of money
