Life Comes Crashin

'Times are tough.'
said the mother.
'I've had enough.'
said the dad.
And one by one the kids all knew
that what they had known
all was through.
Sadness came and eyes were filled
with the saltiness of tears.
The mother cried.The dad just sighed
and the kids were filled with fears.

How could this happen in the USA,
the freeest country in the world today? ? ?
