Thinkin' Thursday

This is the point where those who know me will say "Okay THAT'S Marie!" Today's one of those days in which I seem to be thinking about a million things at once. There's so much on my mind but somehow nothing at all. I know...doesn't make much sense but somebody, somewhere feels me. I can't call it venting but a part of me is steaming. So I guess I'll get a little creative while acknowledging the current economic crisis that is hitting some of us quite hard and others not at all.

THE DEBT DEAL...who came up with that term? Seriously, THE DEBT DEAL? It sounds like something a kid on the school yard would say when he loans a friend fifty cents. Like "sure Billy I'll give you fifty cents today but remember with THE DEBT DEAL you give me seventy five cents tomorrow." I won't even delve into the idiocy and in-fighting that Congress has so openly displayed. I won't name any political leaders or followers. And I definitely won't rant and rave like certain "journalists" who get paid millions to do so.

As I said earlier, I'll get creative. Love it or hate it, this is what it's come to...

The debt deal is like a death sentence.
I try to support my government
but shit just doesn't make sense.
I used to love tea.
It relaxed me and calmed me,
gave me the energy to focus mentally.
But now I can't stand it.
Give me a glass
and I'll throw it up and smash it,
make it rain glass fragments.
Of course I'll just stand there.
And tell somebody take a pic
while I shake the glass from my hair.
I know it sounds like nonsense
but I want that pic to be on the main screen
just for Congress.

Still waiting to be bailed out...
