I understand your viewpoint in toto and you have expressed the underlying feel very very well................janani

Sandra, As I understand it, the government forced lenders to make loans to people who couldn't possibly afford to pay for their payments. They were given loans on false information and no one was checking their data because it would not be politically correct to question anyones statements. Then when the interest rates changed, by less than a point, they expected the government to step in and save them. We bought our first house at an interest rate of 15 % because we were a poor risk. Now the banks beg me to borrow money, because my credit is good. It all falls back on the premise that it is always someone elses fault for my errors in life.... Your poem reflected that, good job Jim

It is encouraging to find that you are one of the poets who cares about what happens in our society and now have made your voice heard. I hope we all can join you and write so well. Every voice helps.

A well constructed poem. A good theme also. As a bank employee I can say that it is the political intervention that sends a bank to reeling. People get a feeling that they need not repay their loans. Government also injects in their minds similar ideas. How can a bank survive then? Can an individual spare a borrower? In the case of any bank people have a different idea about this. This is not fair.

a well thought of poem shan

So true, Scathing. Let this kind of poems wash our society clean.

You have hit the nail on the head with this one Sandra.\! It is so easy for these bankers to give the blame to the losers in this mathematical disaster (us) . An honest, intelligent and excellent poem. 10 love Karin

I think if God exists, he thinks these prayers smell..but your poem is full of the odor of truth, I like it much. (smile)

Irony penned with wit and style. I was watching a television program on homelessness the other night. How dare these self serving bankers take sooooooooo much, when so many have so little... Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
