Modern Life 2009

Please save me from
this complicated life,
a fearsome boss,
a nagging wife,
obnoxious kids,
unruly and wild,
and now, my wife
again with child,
quite unexpected,
when on some party night
precautions were neglected,
with a growing recession
turning into depression
making my job insecure
with lost income, I'm sure,
threatening foreclosure
and repossession
causing life-standards'
ascending regression.

In this failing world
of loss and no gain,
the modern life
gives me a pain.
