[title] => Misconceptions of Low-wage Workers

[hometext] => You need to know that any in Congress who refuses to allow minimum wage to come to a vote made more money during last year's 1-month government shutdown than a low-wage worker makes their entire year. ~Clinton
[bodytext] => America is no longer the land of opportunity for millions. Nor will she face-up to Her national debt of billions. Perhaps legalising homosexuals and abortions made God mad? One whole state wiped-out, like Katrina; Oh my God, how sad! Yet blinders stay-on, since 30-million workers are in poverty. Living from pay-check-2-pay-check and drowning quite loudly. And only a ‘drug invested neighbourhoods’ they could afford. I’m talking about professional people, serving others, adored! The US minimum of $5.15 hasn’t been changed in ten long years. It's not three strikes-and-you’re-out, for 1-miss-hap of tears. Free clinics are limited for what they can financially achieve. One trip to the Doctor is often a day’s wages with no reprieve. Oprah had a couple show us what it’s like with limited funds. After 3-months they were 1200 dollars-off and wanting to run. Affording only a drug-invested area and risk travelling a bus. So many people don’t need a hand-out but a hand-up is a must.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
