THE FACE OF A RECESSION

During hard and difficult times

We count our pennies, nickels and dimes

We are often forced to cut back

So that we do not have to lack

Sometimes we are barely able

To put adequate food on the table

We shop at the second hand store

Just to give our kids a little more

The times when we are in pain

At home we must remain

Without adequate healthcare

Our life will be lived in despair

Although we daily seek

The job market is very bleak

People are losing their homes

To the streets they are sent to roam

Some people have ended their life

Just not deal with all this strife

Many people are really sad

Because things are just so bad

There is much concern

As to when this tide will turn

Although this isn’t the great depression

We are currently facing a major recession
