Inflation
By common
consent, inflation’s a curse.
Man may not
live by bread alone, it’s said,
But a few
slices less if the price of bread
Keeps rising
pence on pence, or even worse.
Why should
the cost of things keep on soaring?
The wisdom
of economic sages
Blames
workers demanding higher wages,
A diagnosis
it’s worth ignoring.
Because as
every worker understands
This would
mean the effect precedes the cause,
Like sowing
the seed after the plant grows:
It’s high
prices that trigger wage demands.
Far better
that inflation be ended
Once money
and prices are transcended.
D. A.
