The Economy Is a Complex Machine

Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)



The economy is like an ocean vast,
Where ebbs and flows mark each day's contrast,
Money flows like waves upon the shore,
And jobs and industries seek to explore.

Sometimes the tide is high and strong,
And markets flourish all day long,
Investors smile and businesses thrive,
And the people's hopes and dreams come alive.

But at times the tide is low and weak,
And the economy suffers a losing streak,
Unemployment rises, wages fall,
And many are left with nothing at all.

The economy is a complex machine,
With cycles and trends that are often unseen,
But it's the people who make it grow,
And through hard work and innovation, they'll show.

So let's work together and never forget,
That the economy is a living project,
And with cooperation and determination,
We'll build a better future for every nation.
