I died because I'm poor. (Compassionate mod kicks in a penny for the funeral)

Poet | I.C. Howe

Your bleeding heart sympathies, dear poet, are what has given these poor their indolence, taking away their need to care for themselves and putting it int he hands of a government which, like all human governments have ever been, is ineffective, inefficient, and truly uncaring about anything but bureaucracy. The solution is not to make a government that bleeds more for the people, it's to make people who don't give away their independence, responsibility, and lives to a distant bureaucracy that will make them into incapable children.

Word, you dimwitted dink.

Very moving. Now move on out of here.

You died because you plugged in your computer to post this while you were floating in water.

I died because I'm poor.

Who cares.

Oh, Mama! Dear sweet Mama. I wail into the sky. Where's that promising Bush? Mama didn't have to die.

No No No! It's supposed to be:

Mama! Oooh-ooh-ooh-oooooh. Didn't mean to make you cry.
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters...

Or...

Mama! Oooh-ooh-ooh-oooooh.
I don't want to die!
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all!

John 12:8

8You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me."

Psalm 91:2

2 I will say [a] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

[JavaTheHutt]

Have you considered the possibility that you died because your poetry was so bad that a lynch mob was formed just to shut you up?

I died because I'm poor.

Damn, poor thing couldn't work or swim --- sucks to be you.

You're no "poetic" version of Alice Sebold, although I see where you got your concept.

I died because I'm dumb

I knew a hurricane was comin

so I stayed at home and waited

I knew it was goin be bad

so I lit up my crack pipe

I knew we had nothin

so I waited to loot

I knew the guberment would save us

so I trashed my housing project

I knew we lived below the river

so I stole me a canoe

I knew the power was live

so I waited until the lights went out

I knew the gun was loaded

so I shot that sucka in the head

I knew the po po was busy

so I cleaned out walmart

I knew I'd have it all

so I took it until I's got shot dead

[ArrogantBustard]

Oh mamma I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
Oh mamma I can hear you a-crying you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows and I don't have very
long

7 trillion dollar spent on the war on poverty, and you're still poor?

What is our exit strategy in the war on poverty?

Just a Cheerio floating in the cereal bowl that is New Orleans. That's what you are. When the Big Spoon of Life was dipped for another taste, you were sucked into the vacuous rush of Cheerio Chumps. That's what you get for hanging around in clumps. Pass the box.

Don't you just love the smell of Ozone in the morning? Smells like victory!

Yep, that was fun

Time to search for the next poor troll :-)

[SampleMan]

You've confused "poor" with "stupid".

LOL! Thanks for letting us play for a while.
