How Easy for Them!

How easy it is for members of Congress
To perch on their pudgy posteriors and ponder
Ways to cut Social Security benefits
For millions who do not have ONE buck to squander!

How easy it is for privileged lawmakers
To find ways to keep their own futures secure
And to make bold decisions affecting the struggling
Retirees whose future hopes are a blur!

How easy it is for our leaders to ignore
Millions who struggle to make ends meet
And to balance budgets on the backs of the poor!
How often these same sad tunes repeat!

Protecting earned benefits like Social Security
Should be a priority. Spread the word!
To increase the suffering of needy Americans
Is shameful, unconscionable, unethical, and absurd.
