For the record

Poetic Dan

To all those that have written
Further actions could be given
For I have never given enough
With a currency that they love

 

This last demon in my mind
Laughing at my poverty line
Telling me I'll always be broke
Backed up by every letter spoke

 

I don't want to be a paperweight
With the pressure of its name
Keep your capital and its gain
In this mad world going insane

 

Budgeting to try and live within a box
Knowing every week I'll still be at a loss
Giving to one by putting off another
Slowly drowning to keep above water

 

So for the record let me say again
I am dissatisfied in living this way
A monetary system built to provide
Yet mostly I feel a worldly divide

    Dan,

    In totality...
    you are who you are!
    Suffice it to say...
    ‘To thy own self be true’...
    And that is the best that you can do!
    Finances can be a problem!
    Don’t let them drown you! You are stronger than that! Strive to stay the good-hearted and caring man that you are!🌈

      Loved that rhyme! Will definitely stay in my mind
      Really needed this last night

      Very well written. Keeping your head above water is success you know. Look around you, plenty are not. Look around you, there is a wealth of love in your life and its genuine.
      I'm envious. You're a genuine bloke who wears his heart on his sleeve and is much loved and respected for it. Somehow i cant see you as a mean money making unfeeling geezah.

        My friend after reading this last night and the poem of yours last year, I truly felt at peace and going forward in harmony.
        This place is as amazing as the people that give openly and if you let can be the best kind of therapy.

        Thank you for always giving your time
        Much peace and respect
        Always appreciated

        You have come so far Dan to let your finances bring you down, as you said it is only paper. Your new found strength will pull you through.

          That it will and has my friend, with this power of communication!
          I still dislike it but have to be the change and anger is not the way!
          Always appreciated
          Have a peaceful day
