A room at the end of the tunnel

There's a room
at the end
of the tunnel.
A room where when we go
for our last walk down
that long long tunnel,
a door that when we open
that door,
will be what is past a door.
In that room
will be
the credit checkers
that offer and advertise free services.
In that room
will be the diet pill suppliers
that offer free samples
of expensive addictive pills.
In that room
will be the credit debt fixers
that will tell you the secrets
that they, the credit card companies,
don't want you to know.
In that room
will be the man
that will announce your social security number
on radios nationwide
because he says he's protecting your identity.
In that room
will be the emailers
from Siberia and South Sudan
and Peru, and Iraq,
that had their funds trapped
in their country
at the sudden death by plane crash
and that need your personal
identity theft information
in order to transfer 6.2 million dollars
into your account.
In that room
will be the car salesman,
handshaking the politicians.
In that room will be
the news reporters
and commentators.
In that room...

In that room
it will be
a balmy 98 degrees in post hurricane Florida.
And horizon
to horizon
will be covered in ash
from distant fires
on oil wells
in the Middle East.
