As everybody knows or has experienced, our economy has been slipping and slipping. Jobs are being taken away, disappearing as businesses close, and houses are being foreclosed on.  In fact, it is just quite plain scary-and while the economy has a lot to do with the way the United States seems to be running these days-we just can’t blame every single thing in our life on the economy. While we would like to place the blame on the one term-tis is not always the case. I wrote a poem in a joking sort of manner to relay on how some are blaming every aspect of their life on the economy.

Read it with a bit of humor inside-yet with a mindful manner of what is truly going on as well. I understand that a lot of our system is out of wack because of the economy-but when something in my personal life is hit the wrong way–indeed it will not always be the economy’s fault…. –If we don’t watch it-our children could be reacting out in anger..and perhaps they too-will blame that on the economy…..

Mind is wandering as my eyes grow heavy from yet another hectic day….
I think I’m gonna blame it on the economy….

My pen won’t write…
Frustrations have gotten the best of me.

Overworked and underpaid.
My nerves are completey fraid.
I’m gonna blame it on the economy…

Money is tight, and the wallet-
well it won’t put up a fight.-
Ain’t nothin in it anyway-
I’m gonna blame it on the economy.

Stores are a-closin,
Ain’t no more wedding jewelry-
Guess there won’t be anybody proposing-
Blame it on the economy!

People have lost their faith, their ways.

Some have even been blind to God.—
Where have their hearts gone?
Blame that on the economy?…

Or who is to blame….?
