You over speculate <br />Keep telling yourself you're fine <br />You speculate to accumulate <br />Until you crash like 1929 <br />Spending money you don't have <br />For goods you do not need <br />Your speculation is a cleaver disguise <br />For your ever growing greed <br />Did the infamous crash in Wall Street <br />Tell you anything about buying market stocks <br />Or the black and white pictures of Hooverville <br />The homeless in their rickety cardboard box <br />Your speculation spiralling out of control <br />Higher purchase and credit, banks closing down <br />Everything now with no value <br />As poverty sweeps through the town <br />A great depression rolls on in <br />Like never ending rain <br />If you don't stop speculating <br />All this will happen again<br /><br />nicola burkett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/speculation-3/
