Best Economy Poems

They travel
Distances
To work at the new factory
At the mall
To sell
To persuade
To show 
To ring up sales
To stock shelves
And keep merchandise neat and attractive.

Customers 
Look
Touch
Examine
Feel and perhaps
Buy.

Standing on their feet 
Workers wonder
How does an 
An $8.00 an hour job
Minus benefits
Zero coverage
Negative career
Compute
In their lives?

Their parents had...

Sun and traffic - day economy.
Six a.m. drive to plywood mill. Too tired
to be angry. Each day a step
toward death. What is being accomplished? The
small satisfactions
within each day. Book consciously read.
And frustrations. Package dropped, honey jar broke.

One of 175 soil types. With the fifty
tree species
comprising...

There once was an economist who claimed
Deregulation wasn’t to blame

Loss of middle class ranks
‘Til unemployment had to pay him in francs...

The economy that exists today,

invites the Grim Reaper to have its way

with our minds and emotions,

even through our tenacity and devotions,

the doldrums set in, encouraging,

negative patterns of melancholia, sickness

and sin........

An economy that has forced its residents

to unleash wrath upon themselves, through

warped psyches and ill health,

People...

Confidence it seems has gone astray
Economics?
Ah what a waste they now say
It seems all those case studies
Must be thrown out the window
Now that confidence has flown far away
Should I just call up mystic Meg or pray?

Built up on false accounting by snake oil bankers
The world...

“The Economy of Love”



Incorporeal
susurration
the fleet of mind 
gather in the hive
they waltz 
their words
across a page
slicing through
the dark of 
want and love
holding tight 
the hands that write
feverish devotion
drowning in 
collaboration’s
enchanted 
beguiling
false 
romance
 
Ah where is love?
real love?
wanton love?
like some 
white sugary
powder inhaled 
sweet intoxicating drug...

This is a perfect example of how bad our economy is.
My local strip club has dancers who are stripping,
so they can help put their grandkids through college....

At the end of one pleasant evening
It was decided to end it on the highest note…
He placed himself on grandest stage
And stretching mighty or shaky hand to the horizon
He simply said to esteemed crowd:

We are so, so proud
In such an awe 
We are with us
That...

Another One Shuts Down (Corona virus version)

Gates and boards and reels of wire
Garbage by the gates
Driveway overgrown with grass
The factory is a state

Security checks once an hour
To make sure all's still locked
Another business shut it's door
the economy was rocked

Another workplace bites the dust
Another one shuts...

We are the workers of this nation,
making less than it takes to survive.
We are the farmer in the cornfield,
the cowboy out on a cattle drive.

Factory drones at minimum wage,
the waitress that’s making even less.
We are all looking for that ladder,
to help us out of this...

How bad can it be?
The earth is dying. 
Animals are crying. 
Their homes being taken from them.
But how bad can it be?
Can’t go outside because it’s to smoky but 
How bad can it be?
Wondering what’s going to kill us first, 
War or what we have...
