Tropical Cool

Aloha poets,

     Cool water falls against a warm tropical setting, inspires today's poetry.
Enjoy!


Reign Reignite


Systems in the shadows wait and yearn
As the flawed and old crumble to burn
Credibility counts as a vital to success
Ideology crosses continents in excess


Contentious dealings an achievement
Parts far-flung a world's bereavement
Union flaws may endure preservation
Tunes with claws not sure of the nation


Can system success rely on an ideology?
As elegant rooms remain in a messy orgy 
Central authority balances and then it checks
Spending beyond means have their own wrecks


Estates and winery may simply dump its debt
No one in charge asks, "Are we there yet?"
Grab a hand and put some energy into it
Banks buy debt to help out bit by bit


Will stomachs churn for want of much more?
Slides petrify and still knock at the door
To start then restart is a system failure?
Printing money to avoid the jailer


Borrow excessive beyond means
Is a life speculated as kings and queens
Privatization shuns and government buys
To appease the masses with their fears and eyes


Fear of default pushes bond yields wayup
Credibility hard won runs like a pup
Political pressures sway and bow
Central banks moo a cash cow
