Slowdown
whom do I implicate for the slowdown,
employed are bamboozled, graduates not so certain,
ample inaction, inadvertent discontent, lost morales,
economic growth is anaemic, european stagnation contagious,
whe humongous waves of liquidity lifted all the boats,
the mariners happily fixed the libor, fooling those on shores,
some traded the shallow mortgages, others plundered emerging markets,
earning, spending, splurging all rose as men satisfied their vices,
not so long ago hiring was all there was, today all I hear is, massive lay offs,
there was a mad rush to own a house, some gold and needless pleasures,
as days progress, many are being rendered homeless or sunk in massive debts,
what price will unprivilieged pay for what developed world now regrets,
today, erstwhile gluttonous pigs feast on borrowed diets,
meanwhile those working hard, provide for elevated budgets,
"greed is good", was appreciated when it played in the movies,
profiteering, lifestyles and ignorance, the reasons I found for global distress.

Thought provoking! I see a book in the distance... A best seller, for those who love words and the market.
