Day after day I fight, for my right to live. Many have started and have given up. Watching them surrender as they lost their jobs and means to support themselves. I've personally seen families move in with other family members to have a place for their children to live. Parents collect unemployment benefits, but its never truly enough to make ends meet.
Government officials claim that we are beginning to recover from this recession but only for them. The poor suffer daily as others choose to ignore the living conditions that the poor live through daily. How can light be seen while the rich lay burdens upon the middle class and the poor. If things are truly getting better, I ask all of you this, how many people do you know that are working part time jobs? How many people do you know that are over worked and under paid? How many people do you know that depend upon government assistance to live?
