"WINTER WORRIES ME"

Of course winter is the best time of year

But it could also be...a horror

Doctors without borders, when it comes to saving the children...

Rather than their mother

When all hard work was supposed to pay off so that we could

celebrate the fruits of our labor

Instead there are homeless, even jobless people

Stripped of happiness, now corporate traitors

Even on the holidays there are still bills to pay

A corrupted government that defies

Rather than put people ahead of profits,

Their final decisions's ridiculed by lies

And it only gets worse...so my parents say

No matter how many times you try

Nothing is possible in this world anymore

God forbid, it's worth committing suicide

And yet, here, we must face it

A Bitter-sweetened future, nonetheless

Worrying that our newborn(s) have a proper education

Before they decide to leave the nest

May I question my existence first

Before I pass this test?

And truly survive in this World Wide Web of lies

Where only G-D knows best?
