Finance Poem

Our politicians today will tell you the economy is strong.



Who among us can really tell if they are right or wrong?



However questions keep playing across this uneducated mind.



If they ever analyzed the fact I wonder what they would find.



The first question is a simple point of definition.



What is it that they call a strong economy?  Do they mistake it for inflation?



Yes, some who are already blessed with great earthly riches say the economy is strong.



However the middle class is paying for their wonderful success so this cannot last long.



Let me tell you what I believe a strong economy would be.



There would be enough food, clothes, housing and comforts for you and also me.



And there would be more left over to help those who have no home but live in boxes under some tree.



When anyone was seen in need they’d never have to ask, for there would be people who would simply want to help them out and try to guard their health



Yes, those multi-million dollar businesses would want to share their wealth.



For their millions will serve no purpose when there is no middle class.



Without the balance of distribution of wealth, it will soon simply pass.



And when there are no more weak to trod upon, this is a fact of science



That it will simply be a matter of a battle of the giants.



Aggression begets aggression and anger brings the same.



So our strong economy is really only strong in name.



Strength means balance and balance tips the scales not at all.



When the scales are tilted our economy is doomed to fall
