The Blues, Jewelry, Even Wedding Rings

To pass the time, sometimes I peruse the marketplace on a social media site. Lately I've noticed quite a few pieces of precious jewelry for sale, even wedding rings. Today I saw a wedding ring on a very wrinkled hand. I just knew this was someone who needed money desperately. I perused the comments, and sure enough, the person needed a steering pump for their car. This is one of the reasons I feel akin to the blues genre of music. If I was a singer I'd sing the blues.

I leave you with "If I had Money" lyrics first then the song. Link provided in case the embedded doesn't work below. https://youtu.be/9_2FrmeV_Yg

If I had money
I'd buy those people a place to stay
If I had money
I'd buy those people a place to stay
But all I got is a dime
and I got so little time

 
If I had faith
I'd get down on my knees
If I had faith
I'd get down on my knees
But all I got is bad religion
And I got nowhere, nowhere to pray

If I had magic
I'd clean up the whole mess
 
If I had magic
I'd clean up that awful mess
But I am just a working man
and I am hoping for the best

If I had money...

Hi Sue, thanks, you have no idea what I've been seeing in the undercurrents happening in my community let alone societies everywhere across the globe: selling shoes, baby clothes, dishes, kitchen utensils, and on and on, and lots of bartering; if we need something we try to buy it local from an individual to help folks out. And in the back of my mind, I fear we, too, will soon be in the same boat.
