Best Inflation Poems

A hundred dollars was more than enough
To buy all my groceries and stuff
The bagboy doesn't stock it
For it fits in my pocket
A hundred dollars for spam is too rough...

Ytb! Ytb! 
We are here again 
The sokaklar are not safe anymore
The pride in us is slowly disappearing out there
Ytb ytb, have you heard about inflation? 

Lütfen explain to us ytb

The lira is sequencing like polymerase chain
The cost of...

I am the Zimbabwean Trillionaire(inflation)

 Oh! Where did they go wrong?
 Now i am walking as i like in their country
 I have invited my trusted friends,
 Billionaire and millionaire
 All zeroes everywhere, they are trying to cut me off
 What they dont know is,I...

A paper road and car of clay,
A garden made from pencil shaves;
With fields of crayon flowers drawn,
Beyond the shoebox house and lawn;
Old wax paper forms the boat,
That sails under a cardboard moat;
A fence made out of new toothpicks,
Erasers used as driveway brick.
A crafty home in...

Inflation
What’s going to become of us my dear
The cost of living’s filling me with fear
No using the cooker, it costs too much
Can’t heat our rooms up as we’ll become bust.

It’s not how I desired that we should live
How has life on earth come to such...

One problem with gasoline is, it smells
Another is, prices are high as hell --
  But a real good friend of mine
  Pays just a buck forty-nine --
Says he stocks up daily at Taco Bell...

Pennies, nickels and dimes
    no longer take up our time

  Even a quarter's value falls shorter
    ~ no longer buys cheap valentines...

Optimism is rising
  alongside inflation
Elation is spreading 
  across our great nation

It’s starting to look like
  there will be a rerun
in two years of Trump vs. Biden

I Rise
I open the windows of my humble adobe
I breathe in the mountain air
I make a pot of coffee
Then read the News...

Recession, inflation 
Homeless, addiction 
Waste on our streets

Men and women on the mall
Lead in the air
Another one falls
Rifles galore

Rockets hit Kyiv
Russia waring
Men take aim,...

Dollar bills flying out of the air
Trillions for all of us to share
Best send some more
The fast food store
Took a million for my dinner there...

A basic cause of inflation is an economic reality
Which has little to do with prevailing political ideology,
Rather it is rooted in elementary consumerism
And stopping it depends on a proper methodology.
Demand for a specific commodity goes out of control
When there is far more demand than availability.

Earth has no special vantage point 
Even in the Milky Way village
We see as we would from Andromeda
Scientists do measurements, math
But none knows the when, why, who?
At the start, before Laws, before big bang

Now, if expanding universe, speeds up too
The when and why become clearer
After...

The consumer is said to be 
The all-right-man
But it hardly exists
Hegemony is never welcomed
Consumer too has to obey regulations
Follow SOP
On a visit to shops
When buying goods
Has to bear the result of inflation
Prices soaring up high
Subject to tricks and dishonesty
of businessman
A win-win-situation is welcomed instead
The world...
