how could they?

some skinny young woman
in short pants

the millions
I was going to get
are about
     $1.38...

We do live in a
     Capitalist Society
-after all-
-more and more apparent
    to me-

"the quickest path
     to prosperity"...
But for whom?

I muse...
It was supposed
     to be me...
(in my dreams)

inflation
     keeps inflating
I'm getting old enough
     to say...

 I remember when gasoline
      cost .25$$$$ cents!!!!
(there is no cent sign
     on my machine!)

but - as you gasp -
that quarter
was made
out of Silver... !!!

What's the lesson here-
Is it time to start collecting
dried food and gold?
But then, what happens
     if-
"they discover lots more
     Gold"???

I was
a skinny young woman
once

If I'd only known then...
What I think I know now...
