Bernard Barclay Poet Narrative

You Can Change the World

Todays Governments 
are climbing into debt
saving lives 
shutting down economies

Fighting Covid nineteen
attempting to save lives
taking us down into trillions 
of dollars and debt

Heading down into a recession
as economies fail
the depths of this recession
could plummet into a depression

Economies could fail
country's without money
can't buy each other products
factory profits plummet

thousand of people 
could end up on the street
unemployed and starving
yet how can you change

the future
how can you help your country
how can you help your world
how can you help your Government

One hundred people saving 
ten dollars per week 
investing
fifty two thousand dollars per year

The deposit to build homes 
Brothers Sister Cousins Aunts
working together building family wealth
everybody has families

if everybody builds houses 
the housing industry would flourish
factories that make windows, doors, nails,
would all have jobs

Thriving factories and companies 
pay tax either from themselves
or indirectly through their employees
Governments thrive on the backs of industry

Investing in small companies
carpet cleaning
Gardening 
cleaning

Restaurants
nursing agencies
all of these things create wealth
you are only limited 

by your own imagination
a thousand people 
at ten dollars per week
ten thousand dollars per week

five hundred and twenty 
thousand dollars per year
the money to buy farms
build companies

driving a thriving economy
out of a depression
and onto a pathway of growth
rebuilding the damage done

From Covid Nineteen
granted with lockdown
we can't do much at the moment
but we can become prepared

We could start, joint family savings 
Company's could start investment saving groups
banks could start saving groups 
Governments could become involved

We all profit from the success of our people
thriving farms provide food
thriving companies provide wages
thriving Governments provide welfare

Ten dollars a week 
invested would still be your money
shares in companies
shares in houses 

Money that's invested and might grow
as share holders in limited liability companies
maybe stocks could be sold as shares
maybe we could build portfolios

granted we could lose our money
company's fail
but its the company's that succeed
that build jobs in our country's

I am only one man
granted I don't know everything
but you have six billion people
in the world

you could improve on this idea
overcome your fears
and you can change your world 
with your imagination
