An Economic Meltdown Looms Large

By Ndaba Sibanda

An Economic Meltdown Looms Large

Is it not experiencing a sudden downturn?
This is a country bleeding and long run down

Prices don't lie, pretend as much as you want
It can't be rigged, deny as much as you wish, saint

Austerity is felt just like the drying up of liquidity
To pretend that poverty is shrinking is stupidity

The frequent rising of prices due to inflation
Screams of a crisis, a cancer, an implosion!
