The old man south of Salt Lake whose saving's are gone,
lives on a weakened foundation like the legs he stands on.
His spiritual foundation provides him with mental support,
with all of his temporal needs he's always coming up short.
The comestibles he requires, cost more than his available dough.
each day he finds himself buried deeper in an inescapable hole.
He's quite erudite, he has wisdom and great knowledge to share.
So why is he living in squalor, why the depression and despair.
He has two books that are published, sadly no one is buying.
He's not implying they're not good, that would be self-denying.
Once again it comes down to money to publish and market.
 if he had the money to market them, sales take off like a rocket.
He blames Biden and the democrats, he blames stupid policies.
that stripped him of his savings and destroyed his life's quality.
Thanking God for the help he gets from his prayers and his church.
he despises the Biden administration that's left him in the lurch.
What else can I say of a govt., who takes the joy of life away.
Then smiles in our faces saying we're all doing fine and okay.
Someday I'm praying and hoping that my ship's going to come in.
Rest assured that one day the old man south of Salt Lake will win.
D.L. Crockett -- 8/4/24
