Recession

World economy melted down
Aftermath the sub-prime crisis
When America was flaunting
Her big capitalism slice
What's the genesis
Is still a hocus-pocus
How the largest economy
Bled is a major global focus

When the big boys of industry
Were basking in scotch and wine
A sudden twister broke
In the heart of financial line
Many thought it a transit phase
As bear runs in stock market
The game of hide and seek
Turned ugly at Wall Street.

Property prices crashed
Realtors dipped in red
The defaulters shown the door
When bankers turned their head
The losses got nationalized
The profits made private
As Federal intervened
And pumped in billions in haste.

The honchos got their big pie
And fled to Las Vegas
To enjoy a hot bed
With wine and fashion divas
Many turned blue
As pink slips kissed their fate
A few cowards even choose
To kill self and family for heavy debt.
