Bernard Barclay Poet Narrative

Just Thinking

Between Brothers Sisters Cousins Aunts
every family would have a hundred people
a hundred people saving ten dollars per week
is a thousand dollars per week 

Fifty two thousand dollars per year
the deposit for a house every year
rent the house's out 
and they pay for themselves

Granted some weeks you might have problems 
some weeks you might have tenants that don't pay
but with a family of a hundred people 
you would overcome these problems

after ten years you would have ten houses
ten dollars is only just a small part of your wage
you could still save for your own house 
build your own life with the rest of your wage

but working together 
you would be creating family wealth
after ten years you might have a cousin
that is made redundant 

you could use the family investment package
to invest in buying vans and equipment, 
for a carpet cleaning business
creating work for your cousin

Invested properly not only could you create work
buy profits from your company could improve 
family wealth, investing year after year, you build wealth
wealthy people start companies and create jobs

if every family in the world did this 
your building industry's would go into full production
creating new industry's in your country
this is an investment idea 

What you invest in is up to you 
yes it will create problems 
sometimes the companies you invest in will fail
sometimes tenants will not pay rent

but step by step if we become investors in our future
we would overcome these problems 
and learn to invest in better ideas
step by step, each family would become wealthy

Fifty two thousand dollars per year 
groups could come together 
to invest in hospitals, medical clinic's, 
every company requires investment to start

If all the family's in the world became investors 
how long would it take to eliminate unemployment
fifteen thousand children, in Africa die from famine 
give their parents jobs and their children won't starve

Country's become heathy
based on progressive economies 
eliminate unemployment and your country's improving economy
allows you to pay for debts, hospitals, roads, pensions 

Wealthy country's can afford to buy products 
from the international community
creating a healthy system, of international trade
as time goes by the investments of family's
 
might see profits from companies paid as dividend's 
allowing people to retire and live off their investments
granted it depends on what you invest in
every company an farm requires money to start
