I don't understand
Why the economy is so bad
Why people are living in poverty
Why there is failure
But most of all
Why there is good and evil
Why everyone can't be equal
Why does the day come to an end
What I understand most is
Why I love my support system
Why I go to school each day
Why I want to be successful!!!

The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this piece because I feel that today this nation is extremely affected by the economic crisis going on, including my family. I want to demonstrate how badly I want to be successful when I grow up, and help others who are going through a crisis as well.
