64. Poor is all I've ever known
There was a time when I was a child, that we were solid upper working class, but that has slipped away. The only way I see for things to change is to completely tear down the system we're living under. Hit the restart button, and begin again, otherwise it's going to stay the same and get worse.
I'm well into middle age, crippled and living on ssi, I can see the day that it will be gone if things stay the same. I live in fear, I can honestly say that, because I really have no other way of keeping myself alive.
If I'm lucky, extremely lucky, I may have thirty years left in me, at the rate I'm deteriorating, I kind of doubt that there is that much left, the way things are going I've been seriously thinking about what will happen the day I go to the mail box and the sorry charlie letter is in there.
This sucks big green ones, I can't buy some pie in the sky afterlife, I just want to live this one.
I'm putting all my hopes into karma, anybody who can be this uncaring and nasty deserves more than just croaking off and rotting.
