RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: TECHNOLOGY
The Bubble
It happened in real estate
I remember it quite well
It’s much too much to contemplate
When the markets ring the bell
We’re invested in technology
Beyond the limits of a dream
We’ve banked on mass psychology
Much louder than a scream
We have rolled our assets over
A billion times or more
When the markets start to hover
There’s no more keeping score
When the bubble starts to burst
They’ll assure us all is sunny
But before it gets much worse
They will try to hide their money
We all know what happens next
They will ask us for a bailout
That’s the way it all connects
That is what it’s all about
They’re too big to be denied
They’re too big to place a bet
Before we reach the other side
We’ll all be buried in their debt
They will tell us it’s okay
That’s just the way it rolls
Here tomorrow, gone today
Until we’re deep inside the hole
