Reflection: The Recession

 This was a poem written about the economy in 2013, but this poem could have been written at almost any time. The reality being the economy will never work completely for everyone. It almost seems,  to create wealth someone has to make sacrifices . . .it works best when the sacrifices shared .  . .but having the government deciding how these sacrifices will be shared invites epic and utter failure . .

The Recession

paper and promises,

used to manipulate reality,

money to be made,

while people starve,

ideology drifts,

people left behind,

waiting for times to change,

and the Sun to shine.
