How High is the Cost?

We hear it on the news every single day

Prices going up, people cannot pay

Is this a repeat of what happened so long ago

Having to worry about the future, if it is grim we still do not know

Houses being repossessed and people cannot pay for their cars

How did this mess happen, how did it get this far?

Businesses going bankrupt, many losing their jobs

What is this world coming to?

Is there hope for the economy to return its progress?

Can we gain back what has been lost?

Is the possibility in the near future,

If so, how high is the cost?

bad things are happening, can they be fixed?
