Just got jacked

Jacked by the TV commercial that said buy one get one, just pay the postage

Jacked by the job when they said work hard and you'll get paid.

Jacked by the voters who voted me into office and then walked away.

Jacked by the legislators who got elected and suddenly became gods.

Jacked by the children that I raised from birth and now don't even call.

Jacked by friends who would always be there but went the other way when needed.

Jacked by thoughts that often come when down on my luck.

Jacked by choices I've made over the years and now wish I hadn't.

Jacked by a body that seems bent on breaking down.

Jacked by the banks that got the money from Congress and now won't loan.

Jacked by a stranger who said he was hungry and I gave him food that he tossed in the trash.

Jacked by the neighbor that asked for help and then charged me for damages caused by my help.

Jacked at the movie theater for a movie, popcorn, and a drink, way too high.

Jacked by the airports just to catch a plane, got to come out of my shoes, and go through a search because I booked late.

Jacked by my timeshare because I took a vacation without a credit card.

Jacked by customs trying to get back into the States.

Jacked by the President who wants to make all immigrants residents without any real requirements.

Jacked by the justice system for walking down the street with a hoodie while being BLACK!

Just jacked.

Jacked, jacked, JACKED!
