Best Recession Poems

Flamboyant extravagance now infra dig
High class labels embarrassing
Enormous houses now freezing cold
Investment bankers – hiding the gold
Green philosophies put into action
Recycled living the latest fashion
Anxiety political personal basic
Maximise optimise – the cant of the wise
Expression depression opinions outpour
Anger, betrayal, corruption and more
Mortgage arrears fuel fears...

December is here: it's cold outside, but there is no Christmas spirit
A massive loss of jobs and homes is what it took to kill it.

The love and cheer of the season is something from years past
The rich have gotten richer, eliminating the middle class.

Streets are...

I awoke again 
In the same godawful place,
With wine bottles on the floor, 
and egg on my face
"Thank Christ" I said...
...I honestly had no idea 
Since the last time I'd eaten,
Where my next meal might be coming from 
This Holiday Season.

They were fools to outlaw...

Unprecedented and unannounced
The sound out-hauls the band
The beat of corruption much allowed
Now in dual they posses the land

Who should the finger now highlight
The finger itself is bent and bet
White in the day but black at night
The unlucky hens now incur the rent

Hope appears to be...

In Recession

We are hitting a recession
I’m in deepest depression
Prices increasing all the time
Even politicians turning to crime
	
We’re all going down the pan
brother sister woman and man
Still nice to see BP doing well
Making record profits so’s Shell

Still it’s not all doom and gloom
if you’re unable to...

The legs started going,
Howlings
In my head.
Thought I'd go,
Kept awake with water,
Breathing,
Arrogantly telling myself
I'd stay straight.
Drank gin and wine,
Went out,
Tried to buy more,
Unshaven,
Filthy white shorts,
Lost, rolling on lawn,
Somehow got home.
Monday, waiting for offie,
Looked like death,
Fear in eyes
Of passers-by,
Waiting for drink,
Drink relieved me.
Drank all day,
Collapsed wept
"Don't Die...

I personally believe in a cultral of time.  I believe personally that this nation will rise up and
all the rhetoric in its existence will cultivate just in the nick of (?).  And if you're still in doubt,
don't hate my belife's just because your's...

Drink liquor and smoking trees
escaping the reality of this bad economy
some now choose to steal
in efforts to pay their bills
 Making decisions to pawn what they own
doing whatever possible to save their homes
getting by is hard
millions do it without jobs
 Politicians promise it is getting...

Carpe Diem,
Literal translation of seize the day.
How can one do that,
With all this money at stake?
Economic depression,
A sustained downturn.
I have just one question.
Where is all the concern?
Greedy palm itchers, 
Rival to communism.
The workforce overturned,
Jobs sent to Mexico.
All of this spurned,
On hard-working families.
The community targets,
Just one...

Surprise!
Money is gone.
Bank account is empty.

Eat less....

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,...

Many of us are confused as to value, the convenience of money
O not long ago, GOLD was the real money, today "feelings" hold sway
No paper is wealth, except if it allows for BARTER (Covid-19 has a say!)
Every freshman ought to know: money are notes (promissory)
Your...
