hard times

she screams,
and the child support is late,
again;
but he has beer to buy,
and the sky is grey;

he screams,
and the rent is overdue,
again;
but she has shoes to buy,
and it's Friday;

we scream,
and the bottom is up there,
again;
but they have lives to lead,
and it's another day;

is anyone listening?
