No Change 08

coin poem format

 

 

 

 

No change,   08

 

Double Eagle made of gold

will its value hold

 Not so paper promises

 Possibly worthless.

 

 It’s a game of bulls and Bears

 buying stocks and shares.

Sometimes you win, sometimes lose

 You cannot always choose.

 

To be on the winning side

That fate will decide.

When the bankers go astray

The poor always pay.

 

Although the experts call the play

Somehow we all pay

Through the nose for their mistakes

Why for pity’s sake.

Why indeed, Piers! Why indeed! One small consolation - I read today that Australia's richest man has finally been toppled off his pedestal, and is losing money at the rate of $6000 a minute, or $360,000 an hour, or $8,640,000 a day, $60m a month. Do I feel sorry for him??? Boo Hoo!
That will teach him to flaunt his wealth, spending, as he did, $10 million on his wedding. That type of wealth in the light of the hardship of the rest of us, is an obscenity!

That was really good. I think that definantly stimulates my mind, and makes me think about our totally screwed up economy. I read this over and over about 6 or 7 times, and it just got better each time. Keep writing, I hope to see more great work from you soon!
