Balance

The world of business 
is riddled with traps
I tried to start
an intenent business

So good were their words
we make money 
when you make money
the promise of lies

Internet scams 
poor people trying 
to make at the expense
of someone else

of course, it was a scam 
Financially I am not 
the one to follow
but with a world

Real financial experts
surely we could find 
people to trust 
people that can invest 

and grow companies 
people that can 
make a profit 
and payout dividends from shares

people that can help build economies
saving ten dollars per week
you are looking at an investment
of five hundred and twenty dollars per year

If you had invested in micro soft 
how year after year how much 
would you be worth
could you invest more

It'd your life 
you can do whatever you want
you can save a hundred dollars  per week
it's your money

granted with every investment
there is a risk
you can lose your money
people do lie cheap and steal

but investments create jobs
investments stimulate economies
half the problem we have today
was caused by greed

People wanting to make money
from selling houses 
lowered interest rates
sold houses to people 

that couldn't afford them 
put up interest rates 
made the homeowners 
take out insurance 

So if they failed to pay
they made money
from the insurance company
an insurance company collapsed

because they couldn't afford the debt
like a deck of dominoes
the whole system started to struggle
one country after another

started having financial problems
markets dried up as economies failed
we didn't end up, in a depression
because we had things like social welfare

Our ancestors had created
but we are all apart of the same world
healthy economies in other country's 
buy the products from your country's

The world needs to look at the balance
between the needs of all economies
When Mahatma Gandhi improve the textile
trade-in India it devastated 

The textile trade in other countries
I'm not the expert but if we build
industry in India 
I believe that is what great man achieved

Industry, that India requires 
to create employment for India
Industry, that we all need to have 
healthy economies

We need to do it in a way
that creates balance, 
improving the economies of all
countries
