The Dollar & The £

We saved our coins, we watched them climb,

But now they slip with passing time.

The pound, the dollar—once held high,

Now hover low beneath the sky.

Prices rise, the shelves look bare,

Yet wages stall in stale air.

Markets shift with every tweet,

And trading floors can’t find their feet.

The wars, the debt, the rates they tweak,

The strength we had now feels so weak.

Bankers guess and headlines spin,

While common folk just tuck their chin.

What once could buy a week of bread

Now barely feeds a mouth instead.

Still we carry, still we pay,

Hoping fortune swings our way

Poetry has lived in me since childhood.

Ink spills the feelings words fear to say.

My poems heal, some haunt, all are pieces of me.

Stay and read please. Like&follow me. If my poetry touches your ♥️ maybe leave a small tip
