December Can Be a Cruel Month

December is a cruel month
an enabler of declines
with the illusion of being the end of time...
but the beginning of the downfall
after the greed readjustments.
beginning of the year the profit agenda
unbridled threatens the weak poet
is in macroeconomics....!
Poor imaginative creator!
faces reality
of the high costs of living...
Unthinkable expenses affront him!
Search for help that will not arrive,
because no one is moved by poetry,
nobody buys buys gold poetry...
scarcity pierces him
lack does not spare him...
the economic need
it unconsolidates him...
This is the beginning of a new era of suffering
who does not know if he will remain sober
in this new year of agony... !
