Economy

Economy

Bottom drops from under foot,

loathing eyes are hollow,

panic paints declining streets,

civil unrest will follow.

Markets fall at margin call,

employers close their doors,

bankers call in all their loans,

to plunder from the poor.

Cargo, freight and traffic stop,

long line ups at the store,

speculators want your gold,

inflation starts to soar.

Accelerate the banknote press,

to feed the population,

rations made and then declared,

to ward off our starvation.

Tensions rise across the world,

coups n’ sanctions taking place,

terror wars with robber masks,

feeds the doomsday race.

All because they want control,

ownership through the banks,

oil backs their currency,

they take it with their tanks.
