A Poem On Recession Poem by Matthew Holloway

A family left homeless
Starving in the cold
Robbed of all they had
Through no fault of their own

They cling to the wealth care
Of a now broken state
A country on it knees
Pleading for some aid

Gone the heady days
When succession bells rang out
Another account closed
Another business bought

All paid for in loans
A promise that was not kept
So many turned a blind eye
And did not see what came

All that once being built
Was without any foundation
Once the first began to fall
It was like a pack of cards

Now the world it seems
Is all but at the very end
Another footnote posted
In a countries obituary

A family homeless, starving
Who have done no wrong
Look pale eyed into the world
And ask themselves, why?
