An abundance of oil and wealth
‘Rich’ is what defined a company’s health
A year of plenty, all around plentitudes
Reaping windfalls defined new attitudes
Real estate and oil prices touched unseen heights
Expectations and judgments took heavenly sights
The economies of the world were on a roll
But some misjudgments were to soon take its toll
In a senseless act, wealth and greed were cast
Has let upon our world a financial holocaust
A lost sense of balance with no humility
Has now everyone making efforts with all futility
The world best men and bureaucrats have lost their face
Not a little did they ponder that this would be the case
Opportunities pursued with ardent haste
Has led to this uncomprehending waste
Now we see a frenzy of animated action
Do we call this a knee jerk reaction?
The world is smoldered and is running for cover
Will all the King’s men help us recover?
Have we learnt our lesson from what should never have happened?
The future is as bright or dim as we make it or end
Universal well being and prosperity will regain
Before man and its kind will again reign
