I apologize for the delay in posting, but I have a good reason. That being that $176 per paycheck not only doesn't cover my bills, it doesn't even put socks on my feet or food in my fiancee's belly. So I've been scavenging for extra work this week and trying not to just throw up my hands, say "Fuck it!", and leave the country. I brought that up to say this: How many years do you think America has before it ends up like North Korea? Check out this article (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/heres-lousy-life-north-korea-135740771.html) and think hard about the similarities. Try and assess whether you're among the "elite" class or the so-called "middle" (which, really, hasn't existed in this country for years). If you're in a similar situation, hit me up in the comments to this post.
Today/Friday's poem is an imitation of Hans Magnus Enzensberger's "Middle Class Blues". Hope you enjoy.
