Title 42 poem text

 Title 42

The Great Mess
More people enter
States cannot care
No state can
California, New York
Broken
as the others follow
Food shortages, riots,
And rooming gangs
We all search for
Freedom
to share our gifts
to live a life
of Choice
but maybe they do
No new stuff created
Inflation rises
National debt
Bribe the people
for their vote
Keep their power
Try to control more
but the juggler gets tired
Balls start to drop
People are unhappy
Politicians still promise to fix
Many are in illusion
lessons still not learned
the basic economy
Supply and demand
Where do we go next?
