Is It A Recession? Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

Is It A Recession?

Rating: 5.0


A TREE COULD BEAR ONLY SO MANY FRUITS
WHAT?
with a cut in pay slip
with an uncertain apprenticeship
with an overburdened ownership
what would you call all this? ..but a recession
what did cause all this? ..is it the progression
an untrue speculative progression has caused
an untrue recession
why untrue?
A TREE COULD ONLY BEAR SO MANY FRUITS
WHAT?
both the uptrend and the down trend were caused
the untrue uptrend has caused the down trend
if not why this sudden bend
was there a natural catastrophy?
was there an infrastructural catastrophy?
a natural catastrophy would have caused
a recession in agricultural economy
an infrastructural catastrophy would have caused
a recession in industial economy
what was the real catastrophy? ...it was man made
ALL OUR ECONOMY WAS SPENT ON A SPECULATIVE PROGRESSION
even if untrue this may be....this recession
it has hit us hard...the common for true
OUR TREE WOULD ONLY BEAR WHAT IT COULD

However the election process would soon begin
there would'nt be a sign of recession there in
we have already seen some happen in
THEIR'S IS A VERY DIFFERENT TREE.. ALLTOGETHER AND THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT PEOPLE ALLTOGETHER

This recession is affecting the common men for a long time; but it is creation of the greedy few. Because of the lavish mistakes of the few majority has to suffer! This is irony of fate!

I think the recession is due to an artificial scarcity created by the traders There is enough essential commodities available for every living invididual, but the greedy businessmen hoard them for their own advantage, not caring for the common people who are the worst sufferers.

Man is figuring out in the tragedy of this economic crisis....all of the lack of transparency isn't working...people spending money they don't have and never will...brokers buying stocks that dosn't exist...selling stocks they hope to buy......selling futures on margin that will never materialize.....to much deception and chicanery....people paying for illusions with illusions.....
