Scary Retirement Prospects

 

By Elton Camp

 

The working people of today have legitimate fears

Of being unable to retire and enjoy Golden Years

For a long time, when folks got to be old and gray

They could expect a pension from funds put away

 

If there are still jobs that have benefits like that,

They’ll soon be gone in an economy that is flat

If a Social Security check is all that they’ve got,

Will find beyond bare existence it won’t do a lot

 

The house needs repair and things break down

The money needed to pay for them isn’t around

So, will they have to sit on their porch and stare

Or to help them, will there be anyone to care?
