There's a Detour on Wall Street
Posted: August 14, 2011
Are we on the road to recovery…
As we lose our credit rating
finding countless warning signs
and the roadwork back on Wall Street slows us down,
we'd do well to brace for potholes
and the blowouts yet to come
as we reconsider where it is we're bound.
Detours loom when there's construction.
Wall Street will be closed to some.
Will it be the road less taken in the end?
Or will Main Street claim more traffic?
Will we shift what drives our aims?
Will we change the fuels in which we've put our stock?
Realignment's in our future.
What we've always done won't work.
We Americans must tweak our age-old dream.
Owning homes and grand vacations
aren't a given anymore.
The fatted calf we kill will be quite lean.
