Have you heard about Social Security?
They want to raise the retirement age,
The government is up to more antics,
So with good reason it’s causing rage.

But I am feeling compelled to warn you,
Please don’t dare to accept their spin,
Because by pushing the age up to 70,
So many fewer people will ever cash in.

They say folks live longer and healthier,
Thus raising the age limit is fair to do,
But I refuse to accept their deception,
And if you’re smart you won’t do it too.

Now what they will just never tell you,
Is that many folks never see a dime,
If you are wondering how this can be,
Well, they die before retirement time.

Their whole life they paid the system,
Hoping they’d hit the age of sixty-five,
But never once did it occur to them,
That they might not even still be alive.

So do you understand my main point,
Why raising the age is such a ruse?
Even fewer will ever see their check,
Yet paying taxes we just can’t refuse.

So millions now contribute into FICA,
Believing some day they’ll get it back,
But those pols want to make it harder,
Maybe we should give them all flack.

They claim SS is almost out of money,
Yet our gov sends billions to Ukraine,
Why do they help so many foreigners,
While Americans feel financial pain?

The Bible’s clear regarding the issue,
One’s own family should come first,
So stop financing those other nations,
And maybe the SS dam won’t burst.

MESMERIZED

Put your faith in the Lord alone,
Don’t ever place it in any man,
For if that person should fail,
Will you still be able to stand?

Yet so often we tend to do this,
A mistake we shouldn’t make,
Captivated by their charisma,
Until we learn they are a fake.

So filled with disappointment,
We sometimes abandon God,
Even becoming so rebellious,
That He must pull out His rod.

But the blame is truly our own,
Eyes were in the wrong place,
Mesmerized by a mere human,
Instead of beholding His face.

Now though our idol has fallen,
The Bible is nevertheless true,
So then returning to the Lord,
Is what we simply need to do.

Regardless if religion fails us,
Jesus remains faithful you see,
His holy promises are forever,
Yes, they’re binding for eternity.
