To Build The Economy

Politics and power tussle
Swiss accounts the silent rustle
Third world countries and their leaders
Endless headlines and their readers
Real builders on an endless hustle and bustle

To build they must first tear it down
Milk it and scamper out of town
Six-foot weevils living in vaults
Find a scapegoat to bear their faults
You must be insane if these thoughts don’t make you frown

Crude oil or crude behaviour?
The south isn’t the only saviour
Why borrow sums when we can lend?
We know the start, let’s find an end
Work your hearts and hands, avoid all misbehaviour.
