Economy Is a Game of Chance

In the realm of commerce and trade,
Lies an ever-shifting economic grade,
Fluctuations in numbers and charts,
Dictate the rise and fall of our hearts.

From the lows of recession and bust,
To the highs of prosperity and trust,
The economy is a game of chance,
Where the stakes are high and the rules enhance.

The value of goods and services we make,
Is the bedrock on which the economy takes,
With factors like supply and demand,
A delicate balance, hard to withstand.

Globalization and trade, the driving force,
Affects every sector, a sweeping course,
From agriculture to technology,
The economy drives our lives, undoubtedly.

Jobs and wages, a critical measure,
The economy’s pulse, a constant treasure,
A strong and stable economy,
Is the backbone of a prosperous country.

But at times it can be hard to keep,
An economy that's both steady and deep,
With every challenge, there's a chance,
To rise and meet it, to advance.

So let us strive to make it right,
For an economy that's fair and bright,
Where opportunity abounds for all,
And our collective efforts never stall.
