Peril Boom Bust Economies Poem by Terence George Craddock

lost horizons
brave new world
opportunities

means migrating
to where work abundant
is flourishing

chronic labour shortages
mean better worker wages
in skill needed categories

better life living conditions
wait in tiger booming economies
riding high on boom waves

but boom bust economies
mean exploitation grey clouds
wait over storm gathering

horizons the ability to move
to transition into new careers
is grey cloud silver lining

being in the right place right time
is happiness opportunities sublime
a chance to avoid exploitation crime
