Tropical Water

Aloha poets,
     Tropical water inspires today's poetry. Enjoy!

Dear Dearth

The short sighted in the long run gains the least
Peasant farmers grow for a global savings increase
Emerging market infrastructures in the dollar U.S.
Long term interest rates rising, whenever to crest?

Outpost's output as money enters a small bank
The trickle of money managers have to thank
To eat, or sell, what you grow is to consume
Global savings go under a big fat broom

The thrifty see money drift into a bank
Infrastructure city has farmers to thank
The sun shines as crops go their own way
Surges of investors manage ploy at play

Austerity finds its way back to the city
Farmers go amidst the dearth and pity
Brands emerge, the real America king?
Chastens of the past the old song to sing

Alcohol and air travel book their new job
Savings v investments still weave and bob
From 3% to 5%, do we go the long run?
Interest rates bang infrastructure's drum

Business boom shakes new helper's hand
Old savings at ready to strike up the land
Governments, investors, consumers, bank
All have farmers to bow to, give a thanks

World savings investment market emerge
Cost of world capital flies new scary bird
The rich increase in their savings account
As a company, household, a savings fount

Interest rates climb, global savings descend
Banks lend to governments around the bend
U.S. dollar was once that big savings on earth
New infrastructure now a dear savings dearth
