Michael Vacek Poet Verse

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

Mick Talbot October 20, 2017 at 7:49 PM 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. Michael Vacek October 24, 2017 at 11:32 PM Thank you on your comment. I was trying to communicate that the cycle of consumerism repeats itself over and over again.

Old Buck October 13, 2017 at 10:17 AM 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 Michael Vacek October 13, 2017 at 12:11 PM 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

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart October 12, 2017 at 9:01 AM Nice =D sharp pen you have! Michael Vacek October 12, 2017 at 12:55 PM 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...
