Poem About The Global Financial Crisis

Poem About The Global Financial Crisis

Make Poverty History!Image by rogiro via FlickrRather than rant on about the current global financial crisis in the world i have tried to sum up how i feel in this poem. Please leave a comment if you agree.


Global Financial Crisis



With talk of a global crisis
And recession everywhere
It’s time for us to ask
Do governments really care

Because through many years of hardship
And poverty all around
The politicians told us
There was no money to be found

Yet when the worlds banks
Started to lose control
Our leaders managed to find billions
To dig them out of a hole

And where did this money come from
Those bankers take with glee
From ordinary people
Folk like you and me

So I say to you the people
Now it’s time to get real tough
And tell our countries leaders
That we’ve really had enough

Because there really only is one way
Out of this situation
Is for the entire planet earth
To join together as one nation

So let’s destroy poverty
And try to break new ground
By forcing our world leaders
To spread their wealth around

Funny how it seem easier to find billions for banks than pennies to feet starving children, isn't it?

Nice poem and sentiment. It might be true, as the previous commenter say, that there's not much chance of that happening, but just think: how much chance did people a few decades ago think there was of a black man being elected president of the United States? Answer: none.

the big banks using the money to buy smaller banks instead of what it was intended for so basically, did no good, just was corporate welfare for Big Business
