Ludwig Knew, Clerihew
Free market economist, Ludwig Von Mises
Ably pinpointed economic diseases.
Yet, when we’re told the feds fixed the great depression,
Ludwig knew it was caused by fed intervention....

Well all I know is
During my great depression
I couldn't stomach
Being with happy
People for a long long time
I'm pretty sad now
So please come visit
I will be the most gloomy
Meem you never saw...

The Good Old Days
During the not-so-Great Depression
FDR practiced self-suppression
'chatting with us' just once a week
During the current pandemic
Press conferences are epidemic
Pols grabbing every microphone to speak...

The Great Depression
Born in the latter part of The Great Depression
Don't know how my parents managed with eight dependants
I was the last in '35
But we all survived
Growing veggies in the yard avoiding senseless obsolescence...

Cinematography of a Memory
Oblivious to arcane mishaps
That molest the bones established by society
The echo of her tattoo sings of a great depression
Each time the memory surfaces,
A twisted grin is born
Perhaps this could be the preluding window to existential purgatory...

Wall
streets game, wall streets fame.
win a piece of the pie.
roll the dice, could be nice.
wedding rice, younger days, still can play.
work the day maybe some pay.
another day.
natures pay.
sun all day, make hay.
wall street way, maybe some.
supply, demand, from your hands.
the way, pioneer day.
make your way from natures supply.
helping hands , helping those in need.
great depression, cycle of return.
history learn, again....

Hopping a Freight Train in Wheeling
The freight train puffs a veil of smoke into the night.
The iron rails rumble.
Be still.
Now.
There it is, the engine's call, fading
To the distance.
Between shadows, a lean figure grips tight to the rolling steel,
His pack worn low on his back, and now he's gone
Wholly, into the night.
I stand alone by the coal yard, I do not dare speak
Or move.
I listen.
The train bends away into its own darkness,
And I lean toward mine....

Great Depression
The sun sets on the dark streets
Tears leave eyes as they begin to grieve
Life is hard for all
But they struggle on, trying not to fall
Food is scarce and people starve
Words of emotion in walls are carved
Houses are taken and the streets become home
Bankruptcy evident from too many loans
Whole families looking towards the sun
Remembering the times when they use to have fun
They pray together hoping for the best
Saying the Great Depression is just God's test...
