"NO MONEY IN MY WALLET"
"TO BE OR NOT TO BE I AM RICH IN SPIRIT"
I was not going to write this true story, but it's not all about me, but other folks too. It is a scenario that could have been avoided with proper communication and not so aloof communication with Vocal and the writers. So, I am writing this to breathe in, breathe out, cry but not pout but scream in my way of lyrics and a song to break down barriers to communication between VOCAL and writers.
"NO MONEY IN MY WALLET"
"TO BE OR NOT TO BE I AM RICH IN SPIRIT"
I have a story to tell
How money is supposed to make my wallet swell
But it Is no longer there.
I swear.
I paid 9.99 to Vocal this month.
On my stipend to keep my plus afloat
Then I had paid $99 but changed for monthly
To help me buy food and gas. or electricity
But documents were sent from Vocal about my yearly payment
Of $99,
No rhyme here,
After shedding a tear,
I paid $99 and $9.99.
To now make this rhyme
The documents claimed the 99 bucks’ payment was legit.
So, the bank took the money back out of my account.
I am without money for food, gas, or electricity.

So, it is to be,
To go as far as to pray
I can talk to a human on Vocal.
As I have made twenty-four bucks from commission from 2023 to 2024
I had paid monthly beginning this month in 2024.
So as before
I shall use my $2 to buy food, gas, and electricity.

So, it is to be
I shall be Vocal in this prose.
Of rhymes and complaining about no communications through actual voice so I shall do what I do best be vocal about writing
As I was trained at Cal State LA
Back in the day,
As I cry my tear
In this birthday month of this 2024 year
I shed a tear.
Living on air as I sigh
Why?
Communicate
Elaborate
Negotiate
I lost my case,
At chase
As I opened it
Now it is closed, and I am broke.
So, tell me please,
How can we communicate?
Please Vocal
Talk to me
Writing is my gift.
The way of life
To keep me out of strife
But I am sad
At 75
Disabled I am,
Diet restrictions,
Not addictions.
Thank you Vocal
For being so vocal
Call me
Talk to me
Zoom meeting with me,
I have at least three-monthly zoom meetings with another writer’s blog
Not smog,
But only $5 a month but no commission.
Now to go to my back pages of time,
To create a rhyme,
Of no money,
To be this time,
I cry.
I sigh.
Why?
I have a story to tell
How money is supposed to make my wallet swell
But it Is no longer there.
I swear.
I paid 9.99 to Vocal this month.
On my stipend to keep my plus afloat
Then I had paid $99 but changed for monthly
To help me buy food and gas. or electricity
But documents were sent from Vocal about my yearly payment
Of $99,
No rhyme here,
After shedding a tear,
I paid $99 and $9.99,
To now make this rhyme.
