World Economic Report, April, 2012

Fear feasts on our insides And wrecks decision-making Evil jumps in with glee And another one loses trust And another one down And another one down And another one loses trust Evil grins At what might have been As another one loses trust Housing fails Markets, too And countries follow suit “Be afraid Be very afraid” Used to be a joke But now it’s the match That lights the glint In Evil’s eye Every day we’re fed Too much detailed information - Perhaps true; Perhaps not - With stated directives To be Very Afraid As Evil laughs And Fear cavorts Through our souls With another one down And another one down And another one loses trust I will myself to turn off the media Not to ignore the warnings; But to avoid overexposure To the cancer-causing Smoking gun Of fear According to Article 37, Section 202 of the Code of Federal Regulation, the Congress states that “words and short phrases such as names, titles, and slogans; familiar symbols or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering or coloring; mere listing of ingredients or contents” are not copyrightable. So thanks to John Deacon of Queen…

Yeah. Thanks. Sometimes it's hard; but then I have to remember why we're here. It's to enjoy what life has to offer: love, joy and beauty. KJ
