GDP

Oil winged birds and suicide rates,
Bread lines and bread lines,
Suffering and pain.

Four day work weeks and social progress,
Smiles and smiles,
Happiness and bliss.

20's and 80's... centuries gone,
Recession, recessions,
It won't be long.

Beat down and blunder, life lost again,
Transactions, transactions,
Where does it end.

Money or progress, who will win,
Community, health, aspirations, my friends,
Depletion, pollution, resources gone,
My world is ending and life is not long.
