The Global Economic Crisis

This recession
Led to a flurry of confession,

If only for a bail out.
It caused the world to shout out.

Who was to blame?

No matter,
The result would be the same.
Apart, of course,
From the small issue of shame.

An economy set up to fail?
A cautionary tale?

Lessons learned from the past,
How they fade so fast.

A world on edge,
Standing on the ledge.

Just the thought of pink slips in the mail,
The people begin to wail.

But everything's on sale.
Should we drown our sorrows in retail?
