Mizpah Crystal Outlook 2010
Show me please, my Mizpah sphere
all your visions and the truth
as always at this time of year
yours truly likes to play the sleuth
And oh so many questions loom
the great want for some clarity
all waiting in the secret room
hostess my lady Verity
What will happen? Let me see
with business and money dear
a murky craft – economy
recovery? Please let me hear!
A naughty decade came to end
of credit fuelled prosperity
now it is time to fight and fend
a long stretch of austerity?
Much dreaded lies and even more created lies?
deep quagmires of subterfuge?
and everything we should despise
as cupboard skelettons are huge?
Alas, the wrong sort kind of guys
will sneeringly fly high again
whereas the decent are hit twice
by hardship and inequality
Fine art to cook books and statistics well
deceit to thrive and rule by fear
I wish there was a cast to spell
to burst this boil with a sharp spear
Injustice blossoms in this clime
and bleak greets lack of opportunity
though tills are ringing with a chime
for speculants’ dishonesty
The greenback tries to be the king
go up and down whilst settling low
an institute, teared limb from limb
and sold of cheap, an end to woe?
The Land of Liberty will hope and fight
disparity – dichotomy
with one hand reaching for the light
the other clenched to tragedy
Persia might incinerate
through freakish handling, stupid pride
and Middle Kingdom contemplates
in Tsun Tzu style to get things right
Europa, Albion and the rest?
A lot is lost before regained
great challenges put to the test
that prescribed unity ordained
What is the best way forward now?
give guidance, Mizpah prophecy
to those who seek, so please endow
us with elation from Eternity
Be unafraid and lift thy brow
just walk on with integrity
and be aware, no matter what or how
that Someone always watches over thee
