I'll say it again Damian haha, it's one crazy mixed up world, it's been happening since time began... I don't know about you guys but here, the working man will work all his life for a measly pension then die, whilst the rich, well you know ❤️

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Pete. I'm glad you connected with the write, my friend. I've seen some die as soon as they went to collect it here as well. Appreciate you.

Outstanding poem Damian. Will our world ever enjoy peace & harmony? I doubt it. Great band you referenced and great song. The original and the cover.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. Always honored to make your RL. Glad you connected with the write, my friend. Great song, I like RATM's version better. I'm hit or miss with Springsteen. I respect the hell out of him, he's a tremendous song writer. But some work for me, others don't. Appreciate you.

Damian

I agree. The way Springsteen sings sounds like he's constipated. His 70's material is quite good. His lyrics are magnificent!

Outstanding write Damion...

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, LDF. Always honored to make your RL. Glad you connected with the write, my friend. Appreciate you.

It's beyond tragic how so many of our fellow countrymen have let themselves be terrified of Marxism and related social studies, because if they were to investigate those topics, they would discover, as I have, that it's possible to give a shit about the value of work and the worker, without necessarily becoming a communist.  

And just where did Marx inherit his ideas from?  

Turns out folks have been giving a shit about inequality for a long time, and the famous equal sign itself was invented in 1557 by Robert Recorde, a Welsh physician and mathematician.  

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, MS. Glad you connected with the write, my friend. I agree, wholeheartedly. Thanks for the history, I love information. Did not know that. It's like everything is coming back. People are being encouraged to inform on each other in this administration. Reminds me of McCarthyism, better dead than red, and all the bullshit. Just saying. Appreciate you.

Really excellent write. The average working guy bares the burdens
of his class. And the rich get richer never giving a second thought
to the middle class hard workers in this country.
You always have such intelligent writes on the harsh reality of
society

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Debbie. Glad you connected with the write, my friend. Everything you said is spot on, I totally agree. Appreciate you.

They're so incredibly "me" focused they can't see past the pot of gold. Without all those they consider beneath them that they're so busy trying to eradicate...who's going to wipe their ass or fluff their pillows? Fools... But you're no fool, Damian. Well said!

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. Always honored to make your RL. Glad you connected with the write, my friend. Spot on as usual, you are. Always enjoy your commentary. They're fools for sure. Appreciate you.

Most of the uber rich could care less about the little man who makes their live possible. Compassionately observed and truthfully conveyed, Damian.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tams. Always honored to make your RL. Glad you connected with the write, my friend. That is very true, they don't care how it's done, as long as it's done. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

So many people want money, the more the better. Look down on the ones who are less or are poor.

I wonder: when your time has come, do you want to look back at your life and think "I was rich" or "I had joy, meaningful connections, made this world a bit better" Awesome piece of ink, my friend.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Duende. Always honored to make your RL. Glad you connected with the write, my friend. I would choose joy, all the money in the world doesn't equal joy. Great point, I agree with you, my friend. Appreciate you.
