The ill have gone, some fled ahead, gave up the ghost before they too become a figure.
Statistics are dealt like a poker hand,
now for some it has been raised once too high - stake not matched.
Now we feel young and alert,
revision of the bulletins and news flashes, the world at our feet once more,
But only due to sunken economy and prices, we have to diversify to stay afloat.
Pies are fingered and now we are all jacks,
masters of none- as for now and a year to come at least no masters reign,
even the big 3 cut and slash with bloody intent and disregard.
Shallow hollow boasts do no good,
as some are left behind on this field,
one sided battle with bullets of invisible cash and loans and shares again.
But we are young and youth must will out,
unable to purchase in the boom- we are in the new upper tier,
no ties, no cash, no hope, no fear, no loss.
We think and re think again,
starting our own the way it should have been done,
not a fat cat in sight,
nor the over powering master,
for us jacks no stake too high,
every hand is raised - as we have no where to fall but up.
