Trick and Treat?

Trick and Treat?

Let the season of the witch begin.
What with the ghouls and ghosties
and super hero spandex
The fall of 2019 starts.
With a President named Trump
and a wall down on the border.
Our country is definitely set up for
trick or treat.
Homelessness is at an all time high.
Los Angeles in tent cities by the thousands..
IT has the look of a futuristic refugee camp
and how appropriate that is.
The people are dying for the want of a cure.
The cure of greed from big pharmaceutical
companies and how they promoted their poison
pills of opiates..
The backlash of token correction is so flawed.
People still need a way to relieve pain.
They just dont need to get a thousand refils
I love the season of carving pumpkins and
raking leaves.
Of decorating my house and yard, of glowing
jack o lanterns with fearsome smiles.
Of remembering the All Hallows Eve tradition and
the thinning of the veils... and to buy
an extra  bag of Milky Way bars.
they are after all my favorites.
Oh, 
and pray for our leaders.. in these days of
early fall.
less tricks and more treats.. !

I also admire your work very much to, just read Trick Or Treat and you In UK we have a government that has no compassion It's treats the most vulnerable In our country with absolutely no respect It's created a benift system so cruel towards disabled people pushed people to food banks an assessment for benift claims so cruel over 8 thousand disabled people struggling mental health Issues, Into suicide people sleeping on the streets even dying there I've 
lived that life on streets no how tough It Is we ard rulled by a government that are more like 
a bunch of clowns than responsible politician

Hi I live in California and am now staying with a friend.  But after my husband died I lost our house and car. I became homeless living on the street at 63.  It is terrifying what the world has become.  Health care that exterminates and a system I paid into when I worked has failed me.theze are hard times brother. My name is susan hill.

Susan I couldn't agee more, this Is not the world I grew up In as a kid I find It a very uncaring world for the less fortunate amongst us you fall from grace though no fault of your own and It's a long road back 
I had been 24/7 carer to my wife
she had  disability payments monthly I had nothing apart from £62 pounds a wee carers allowance but when my wife Helen passed away 23rd Dec 2017 all her benefits Including mine  stopped leaving me with nothing to live on 
I had to go nearly 12 weeks before receiving any money because of our cruel benefit system which even 
the UNITED NATIONS have been Investgating Into which Is absolutely disgusting from our government crimes againt humanity one day I'm convinced they will be bought to trisl to answer for their crimes
