If I stop and think
I Drown pretty quick
Sinking into endless
I receive and I give
Nothing but repeat
All to save the swaying ship
Now life from a life
Comes with a price
An illusion of numbers
That I'll never make enough
When will our enslavement end
To this system of money with trade
We're the true animals on this stage
When others are sent to put us in a cage

Everyone seems to be getting this message lately - maybe it's spreading! Enough greed..... need less... enjoy more! I'm with you (assuming I interpreted this correctly that is!)........
Absolutely my dear, I was trying my hardest not to get in to fact that they are now using my own children to put me more in debt.
It's a point where I feel I can never do enough.....
Maddening maddening............ putting you in debt...... and worse, they want to put THEM in debt even before they get started......... someone has to fight this ridiculous greed.

Dan,
I thought your writing
related to your children
in some way, but I did not know how. Now I understand...and I think it’s despicable! I’m so sorry for your situation! I wish we could help somehow!

It's something I guess I brought on my self with my path I chose to walk. Your reading of the words from my soul give more comfort the gold, this you probably know but I'm truly grateful and with that feeling I try to swim back up.
So to try to remind myself just doing what we do is always enough, thanks for the nudge 😉
More and more I see how the politicians we elected care more about themselves than they do of the people who voted them into office. Its just so insane. Excellent write Dan. Hope you find a positive solution.
I feel I've always known the solution when I tried to walk away from the system of our creation. We have designed it well that you get to a point of no return, I live for the moment that the day returns so my unwilling cog will be removed from the their game.
Thank you for being part of my inner peace, to know we all hold a light to learn from our ancestors that things need to change because this is insane.
Interesting that you mention our ancestors. I often wonder of how our ancestors would react to what is going on in these modern times. Something of turning over in their graves I imagine.

I read your poem previous to this just now, and I'd like to start off with my best wishes to you and your child. This poem is a true expression of your self (I'm inferring you're referring to medical costs) and yes, this system, based on profit as the goal, breeds greed. It preys on the helpless, expecting all to simply wait and heed. Experiences like yours need to talked about, the endless exploitation this world is going through can only be ended with a combined effort of the people from the bottom. You will push through this, Dan, I know it. It's time to instate politicians led not by the highest "donator", but by the will of the people. This reaping of the less fortunate must be brought its end for the sake of everyone.
Thank you for your well wishes my friend he is alot better now.
You are spot on with all your statements, we can only hope to become the change I guess
