After the Fall
After the fall, we are small,
belittled by the event.
All our hard-earned savings gone,
all our money spent.
We look to our leaders for reprieve,
but they just scratch their heads.
Investments that were green as grass,
are now all in the reds.
We didn't see it coming,
just wanted more and more.
Buying more than we need,
and spending without score.
Scooping up scarce resources,
like there was no end.
Praising growth for growth's sake,
ignoring signals science sent.
Trickle down economics,
was going to make us rich.
It only made the rich get richer,
as the poor die inch by inch.
Like lemmings we all rush to see,
what trick will bail our boat.
When we should save ourselves,
and throw the scoundrels out!

Personally, I don't thing human nature will allow it. We'll always want the the biggest cookie off the plate.

"Trickle down economics,

You are brave for printing the truth. I never believed in these lies, yet sill America seems to want to buy it. Obama should be leading my leaps and bounds, yet he isn't!? "They" must all be millionaires themselves out here in states like my own. {1 "Obama" sign in my town here and yet everyone is "poor" around here! Go figure!)
Later, mike...
The root of all evil is the love of money, and the greatest of all sins in my book, is to be indifferent to the plight of our fellow man.
Scorching write that cuts the crap, and gets down to the nitty gritty.
