This poem talks about the recession and the state that we are in economically in the year 2008.

We Are Headed for Recession

What is this obsession
with the recession
Do you think its a blessing?
No.

As we stare in disbelief of inflation
my imagination run wild
It cost to be the boss
invaded the iraqi soil
all in the name of oil
civil unrest, trying to bring peace out of harm
innocent victims caught in the crossfire of bombs

As the economy crumble
leaving us numb and humble
Its like taking a trip to outerspace
to see the changes on so many face
the stress, depression, and financial woes
the body grows tired and weary after so many blows

The U.S. dollar dropped
as the housing market plunged and flopped
gas prices sky high
As the rate of foreclosures rise
hang them high by their toes
is all that the rich folk knows
rob them of every dime
and treat them as if their blind

A republican party filled with cover-ups and corruption
A republican party that took an economy into destruction
the U.S. one of the most powerful countries in the world
the american dream of any man, woman, boy or girl
the unemployment and divorce rate continue to grow
the morale of families are at an all time low

Its 2008, a time for change, a campaign and new things
A primary election with an ala carte selection
A black democratic male, and a white democratic female
we can't forget about the white republican male that might bring us more hell

Does it matter whether the candidates are red, white, black, blue, or purple
or is it about who can get us over the crisis of the economic hurdle
the U.S. is somehow slipping into darkness
we have to change management and recover
before we get buried and smothered

Alicia,

Very powerful writing but honest, open and truthful. No one alone can change the state of our economy or affairs but together we have the power to do so. Vote. Welcome to The Den. Peace, Love and Blessings, Paul.

A recession perhaps, a depression down the road just waiting, but I really believe our entire economy has been turned up side down and how it will unfold and what we will be left with is still a mystery of sorts. To fit into a "global economy" our economy must be brought down for others to be brought up. I believe they catagorize that under "level playing field", but I would like to know why bring us down is good for the world....

Be always safe,
Karen

Yes, Welcome. The US is in darkness and we are all walking around blind to the next assault our government will hit us all with. Excellent poem. Liz

Welcome to the den my dear beautiful politically outspoken woman. You will find open arms regardless of your position even if we don't agree I say welcome as a fellow poetess. Cheers, Deborah
