"National Debt Crisis"

A Poem by WordShifter

A hard subject to write about but must read and see to believe.

"National Debt Crisis"

This poem was inspired by this link,

You must see it to believe it http://usdebt.kleptocracy.us/

And the Federal Reserve debt clock http://www.usdebtclock.org/

As a kid one dollar bought a lot
Birthdays always made me rich
Now not worth paper written upon
Our economy is floating in the ditch

The morning paper headline reads
Stocks tumble amid depression fear
Panic spreads with double recession
Dow losing streak is biting our rear

Politicians can't get it together
"We are on the wrong track"
No jobs and homelessness
Being broke will break our back

Outlook is serious trillions to pay
Congress can't read bills highly stacked
Debt ceiling up credit rating down
Our children will pay that's a fact

God we need a widespread revival
Our churches need a wake up call
Lord teach and inspire Your great truth
Help us see the light so we won't fall

Our dollars reach to the sky
Like the Bible's Babel Tower
The Creator can confuse the people
Or make them a superpower

Just look at our Lady Liberty
She is ill with many symptoms
Don't let her fall like others have
She stands for well fought freedoms

Our money says "In God We Trust"
Forefathers didn't plan roughshod
Big brother tries to remove His name
God hasn't failed us, we have failed God

******************************
Tower of Babel
After the flood the people attempted to build a city,

And a tower whose top would reach unto heaven.

God confounded their language and thereby frustrated their designs.

Genesis 11:4
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower,

Whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make us a name,

lest we be scattered abroad on the face of the whole earth.
