Free Market Sheep

Sheep roam far and wide Looking for greener pastures Big bad wolf allows them to disperse Providing the sheep opportunity One sheep is taken by the big bad wolf Sheep gather with the shepherd Shepherd steps in Puts an end to, or Staves off the big bad wolf Sheep feel secure Sheep test the reach of the shepherd Sheep roam far and wide Looking for greener pastures Consumers roam far and wide Looking for greener pastures Big bad business allows them to disperse Providing the consumers opportunity One consumer is taken by the big bad business Consumers gather with the law Law steps in Puts an end to, or Staves off the big bad business Consumers feel secure Consumers test the reach of the law Consumers roam far and wide Looking for greener pastures

Great poem, however, I am not really into American politics at all, but you have one politician who is scaring the crap out of the world.

Thank you on your comment. I was trying to communicate that the cycle of consumerism repeats itself over and over again.

Mike: Great reminder for all of us. I fear few are listening. :o( Your reply to Ms.McGreavy is right on. The sheep are due for a slaughter. Keep these works coming and thanks for sharing them with all of us on the soup. oldbuck

What makes matters worse is consumer confidence was below business confidence for 18 months prior to elections. Business confidence now exceeds record high consumer confidence and the fed can't save us this time; they can't drop interest rates, if the market crashed

I'd go as far to say that Sheep have more will power than Consumers. Consumer Demand has led to the most recent bubbles we have seen in the US economy. The only thing that has changed over the past year in the US is that Consumer Confidence has shot up to record highs...Sheep are wandering the furthest from the shepherd than they ever have. The wolves are pouncing...
