Look At It This Way

Seeing old things in new ways.

Economic Crisis

Economic Crisis
We are all woven and connected at this time and place
Because the moral hazard has blown up in our face
We are not free from the consequences of our actions
Passing the buck and passing the blame are only distractions

Careless greed untethered by the reigns of shame and guilt
Has wrecked great havoc on the house of cards we built
One by one they topple into the pit of despair
And I as an onlooker watch the commotion and stare

It is the end of the world as I know it and I thank God
I never cared for the money game just consider me odd
I want to spend more time with my family or a friend
And working for a buck or two just never seems to end

With destruction there is an opportunity for renewal
And this pile of horse manure could be a new fuel
To start a better system with greater satisfaction
Connected expansion is the solution to contraction
