The Three Voices, Four Riddles, Echoes - Lewis Carrol
By way of wants
The yearnings of a reality
That's not how it had all begun
The wonders of scarcity
The three whispers awaiting solutions
The Three Voices, Four Riddles, Echoes - Lewis Carrol
By way of wants
The yearnings of a reality
That's not how it had all begun
The wonders of scarcity
The three whispers awaiting solutions
Unlimited wants
Unlimited yearnings
Unlimited yearnings
Unlimited restrains

Scarcity of all whims
Creating demands unsurpassed
Grinds the solution to the brim
Able to feed them in the past
Reflecting on the resolutions
Adam Smith leads the way
Born of the Wealth of Nations
Held spell-bound, held sway
Right on with the actions
Principles and theories
Come into play in absolute terms
Not creating worries
But providing answers for all seasons
Economics had been fun
Creating demands unsurpassed
Grinds the solution to the brim
Able to feed them in the past
Reflecting on the resolutions
Adam Smith leads the way
Born of the Wealth of Nations
Held spell-bound, held sway
Right on with the actions
Principles and theories
Come into play in absolute terms
Not creating worries
But providing answers for all seasons
Economics had been fun
Satisfying unlimited wants!

"Economics had been fun
ReplyDeleteSatisfying unlimited wants!"
As someone who hates economics courses: 😭
But, I really love this poem. I wish I wasn't tired so I can unravel it better than I currently am, but I am reminded of the perspectives, from sociology, on why there is a system of capitalism (good and bad), and how that is germane to U.S. society institutions maintaining their power, or for society to have stability.
Beautifully and eloquently written, Hank. :)
My goodness this is potent! I especially like; "Reflecting on the resolutions Adam Smith leads the way." I had Economics in college :) so your poem reminded me of those days. Thank you so much for writing to the prompt 💝💝
ReplyDeleteNice take on the Crush. Shows that any topic can be poetic!
ReplyDeleteYou've made economics poetic - well done!
ReplyDeleteBut now we have learned that there are limits... economic theories started with limits, went to limitless and now we are slowly becoming aware that there are limits.
ReplyDeleteEconomics 101 - I still remember taking that course...some of it just stays with you.
ReplyDeleteYou are creative my friend...
Really good, and what a fantastic line "The wonders of scarcity"
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you managed to turn economics into poetry, Hank... and enjoyable poetry at that!

That's such a creative take on the prompt! Those three whispers, just so apt.
ReplyDeleteEquitable commerce ... not there even yet. (thanks for commenting on my nonsense poem.)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Economics and poetry...I had believed never the twain shall meet but I am so glad I was wrong.

ReplyDeleteThe writing process is divided into various stages, each of which necessitates your undivided attention and diligence. And, of course, this is a time-limited process. Your professor might want you to turn in your work in two weeks. It means you must set your priorities and devote your attention to one task rather than others. However, it does not ensure a faultless result. That's why so many of your classmates choose the easier option of hiring a paper help service.
