Voice mail upon email
Happens the battle of the insured
Fighting the deductible
But getting it all back
In next year’s inflated premium.

Here’s to the water damage,
Here’s to the denied coverage,
And how alone we are
Victims and adjusters.

No one really owns the past,
No one pays for the future
When it’s a disaster.
