Shadow Tropics

Aloha poets,
     Cool morning shadow wall inspires today's poetry. Enjoy!

Tirelessly Release

Heartened households reach new banner levels
Questionable station speaks to broad obstacles
Once a thought turns it's less than even that
Wild ride descends so hold onto your hat

Money drifts between households and a bank
Government, investors wave a hearty thanks
Consumer sentiment index in the sediments
Swamps of bigger news slides and cements

Cash pile out of reach for all to cling
Investment put-off gives growth a sting
America tax worldwide against the spread
Password timeout drift children from the red

Flashy turnarounds ever trying their debunk
Central bank think tank thought and thunk
Buy treasury notes, bond to drive up prices
Hoping interest rates will take their slices

To spur a consumer to spend at will
Or business investments to stir the till
Interest rates down, consumers spend?
Jittery banks hold on to dollar and yen

Pilgrim program still this America of ours
Authoritarian capitalists signal distant stars
Liu Xiaobo, the metaphor of what's to come
Nobel v Confucius Peace Prize v dumb-dumb

And what about smurfberries' purchasing power?
Are we all to just tap on a purchase button every hour?
Virtual tokens of takers may promise a wine and a honey
Can't read? don't understand? tirelessly release your money
