Global Warning

So what now in the aftermath of G twenty

And deflation in the US with people saving money

You can try fiscal stimulus by borrowing from China

But if we stay the same course then the worst is not behind ya

I speak about a coming shift of power to east

Try to appease the dragon while at home we calm the beast

Don’t get me wrong I know it’s hard to develop strategies

But global markets constrain and yet we call them free

All the while we demand to have social equality

And others take a stand to focus on ecology

Given that what do I see as a corollary?

Collapse and renewal but first catastrophe
