Debt Crisis

Leaders (with guests) at the G20 Summit in Los Cabos, Mexico, June18, 2012

Uncertainties of events leading towards

the ensuing year is taking center stage.

The Greek vote averted  a near financial crisis.

A strict regime is  imposed on countries

in the EU which is grappling with

the contagion effects looming

of a financial meltdown. Has it got to do

with the proverbial unlucky 13?

Economic well-being trailing a jagged path

Lacking in strong initiatives if allowed unabated

will see an economic tsunami building up

Great minds debate on a designated profile

to resolve impending difficulties now contained

but unleashed with sheer abundance

If attempts to smoothen the irritants

are not rightly forthcoming

it would impinge on a global gyration

affecting economies without discrimination

Oil and gold offered a slight respite

retreating a tad lower though not quite

but pacified concerned parties

that prompted overtures towards a G-20 summit

were there to examine the worsening debt crisis

Political will and strong leadership 

called for from an overcast of dark clouds

Deja vu to the shock of the sub prime

naughtiness which learned of technicalities

from the Asian Financial crisis preceding it

It was unsettling, a quagmire of fallen regimes

yet again in the making…. God forbid!
