We should not be on our own

Our country is in bad shape and that's no secret. What are we supposed to do, and how are we to survive this? Now people are protesting wall street. These bankers have ruined us. We need to stop borrowing from them, and let them sink once and for all. I am guilty of it as well so I am not trying to be hypocritical. I had to give up a brand new car I had because the bank refused to help a guy who had to pass on a job because of surgery. How cold blooded do they have to be before we realize they are truly evil? I am in debt, but it doesn't hang over my head. I ignore it. It's not the healthiest thing to do, but I am not the one who refused to help someone out when they asked repeatedly and then took an 18,000$ vehicle and sold it for 4,000$ at an auction. I wonder if they actually thought I was ever going to even attempt to pay them back. Now it's written off but my credit is trashed. I don't care, never did really. Now there's tons of people in debt because of these banks. We are in serious trouble as a country.

I am 27 years old. I was in technical college for a year and I dropped out because Architecture was not what I wanted to do.  A few years later I tried to go back for a different degree since I already had some completed coursework, and my loans were up to date and current. The school stopped accepting my loan company. I was S.O.L. I have tried since getting in but failed. Now here we are today and I was accepted into a program I wanted to do for a better job and future. After 2 years of school and 30,000$ I would end up (if I was lucky) with a job paying 8$/ hr to start. I make more than that now. So is going into more debt for an education I can't use worth it? I don't think so but what do I know. I hear about people everyday graduating with degrees and they end up working retail or something lower.

A good friend of mine mentioned that he believes things are going to revert back to the older days when families lived together on their land no matter how big. I believe this is possible and it's partly the reason why I am moving home. How am I to survive on my own? I have plenty of work experience but that doesn't mean much today. Luckily I have a career started in security. It's not the best pay, but it is an easy job most of the time and crime never seems to dwindle down so there is always work. I think that none of us should be on our own. My family, my friends, I will always do what I can to help them. It gives me peace knowing I am going back to where I belong and I will be able to face whatever challenges come my way because I'll be even stronger then.

"Break the Bank" Written and composed by KH

~verse~
Down on the streets I look up
and all I see are the tyrants around
they hold the power, money and luxury
they just hold us all down

I vow to rip the cigars from their lips
as I hear them growl
No more will I stand for any of this
No way, this is my town

There's starving people out on the streets
that they've chewed and spit out
in their back pockets there's fat wallets
now it's time for us all to shout

~chorus~
Break their banks, break their freedom
take their lives, take their spirits
take our justice, take our rights
and like bandits ride into the night
