A Tired Single Parent Working Luxury Poem by Terence George Craddock
A Tired Single Parent Working Luxury
once upon a time since condemned...
in a less greedy materialistic world
when greed greed capitalism greed
had not plague infested an entire world...
a man went to work earned...
not a fair slice of the pie slaved
for! but at least a liveable wage paid!
while his wife at home the children raised!
twenty first century both parents are worked...
to the bone! but not enough money is made!
by both parents working for all bills to be paid?
without overtime couples are on a downward slide?
rundown depressed tired being tired extremely tired?
is a when it comes to children! luxury parents cannot afford?

You are right about the tremendous effect which money has in our lives, for good or for bad. There is so much greed out there, which makes it very difficult for families and solo parents. Good use of rhetorical questions at the end.
