You go Boi.
Shame on America for selling something and then expecting to be paid for it! How awful that a contract is made and then expected to be honored! If you can’t pay the mortgage, how you gonna pay the rent?

heard it on npr while driving home. brought tears to my eyes.
thank you for posting this poem!
Wow! What a reality….. Shame on you America!
