A number of the people have responded to yesterday’s poem (Take My Face. I Don’t Need It Anymore) on The Poetry Blog with moving and heartfelt comments.

Dan Speers,
you’ve outdone yourself this time. Wonderful poem.. I cried when I read it. Speaks to every man/woman and how it feels to have everything one minute and nothing the next due to greedy folks on wall street and government relaxing regs….
Michael Chase says:
My goodness Dan….I started as a retail clerk on the overnight shift, and worked my way to manager. That poem was simply outstanding!
Frances says:
Great Article Michael. Great poem Dan.
I owe a special debt to Mario Piperni who allowed me to first publish it on his site: http://mariopiperni.com/economy/the-economy-unspinning-spin.php#comment-16801
To everyone who responded on Mario’s site and those who sent me both emails and Twits, I offer this thank you, both on Mario’s blog and here:
Thank you, everyone. But it isn’t me.
It’s all of us who wake up each day
Remembering we care, that we
Do believe in equality
That we all hope to live someday
In a world of true equity.
