The European Austerity Poem

Posted by Progress in ,

As a historical European economic crisis unfolds before our very eyes and we see a shift of real power move to Asia, here is a fitting poem that I wrote to capture the light side of this new sickening reality:

Who will tell the Greeks they will have to go Bust?
It seems that the euro is no longer a Must!
Its the EU's austerity answer to the economic disaster,
Tax more of the same and cut everything we Trust.
---
The emotional and complex Italians are beginning to Shrink?
And who will update the Swiss they are no longer in Sync?
Regardless of idealistic desires it all bitterly transpires,
That the once ice cool will not take long to melt and Sink!
---
There's nothing like the sound of the shallow jumping in at the Deep!
As the countries on the edge are beginning to Weep!
Seeking a Political womb or a kind of European counseling room,
In the end they will all contribute more than they get to Keep!
---
Who will advise the EU non-elected they were never in Demand?
And that the power of the vote should be the only Command,
Highly creative expenses and commissions that are senseless,
Yet the public never showed the guts or the stomach to Stand.
---
German collude with northern friends like the voice of Big Brother,
Preaching to the sick, mortally ill and the multiple Other.
Will the British get to escape the European economical rape,
For sure they will nag just like an "I told you so" nagging Mother.
----
So how will the mighty Europe eventually End?
Perhaps begging to the Chinese with an extended Bend!
The concept of bail-out is no longer a lingering doubt,
It boils down to the message they will finally forge to Send.
