A reality poem
Everybody is going crazy
Everybody is going nuts
We’re all going out of our minds
The price to go shopping costs us every dime
Why look at the prices anymore
Why do the chore?
They update the labels while we are still in the store
They say they have good reasons
That rents are now sky high
They say they can’t get workers
“So, pay them enough to survive!”
They say they can’t get the goods
Who’s kidding it’s too hard to believe
What will they tell us next
What lies are hidden beneath their sleeves
I know I am right here
I know this for sure
Yet whatever the high prices
I’ll just have to give in and ignore.
