So Economics has gone to pot,
And I’m the one whose got the lot,
As an amateur student of philosophy,
A study in human behaviour it would have to be,
How would they behave?
If they no longer needed to scrimp and save?
I’d have to start with corrupt politicians,
To see their faces would be one of my missions,
” Have what you want I don’t care,
But of the consequences you must beware”,
That proviso they would fail to notice,
The mess they make would need more than a poultice,
On strange and wonderful things they would spend,
Their efforts coming to a sticky end,
No improvements or benefits except to themselves,
And Public Library’s with empty shelves,
You see no matter how much you gave them,
Really nothing was ever going to save them.
So quickly I would move on and find a new study,
Oh yes an AI Guru would become my best buddy,
For they argue a lot about money and tort,
So I could help them with an extra nought,
It would give me access to what they want to achieve,
Although their explanations would make me heave,
“People are capital that we just don’t need
Kind of like the garden that you have to weed”,
Yes I’d be floored and would observe with glee,
That the general public questioned their sanity,
At this the AI Guru’s suffered a significant perturb
And spent all my money on a publicity blurb,
Little good it did , for it was too good to be true,
Computers can’t do what a human can do.
Time was moving on and it was getting near the end,
So I felt I had to do good and offer a stipend,
It was my opportunity to crush the bot,
To give to those who protect others both human and not,
Boost their coffers and increase the good that they spread,
Give them the bucks they need to move ahead,
To make things better for all of us,
To work steadily and without a fuss,
Planet and People to nurture and protect,
With every method and heartfelt project,
In truth this was where to invest an income stream,
To make their plans much more than a dream.
Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
