The God of Interest Rates
By Joey F.
Sometimes,
When my day comes to a slow,
And my mind releases
And relaxes,
I ponder
What it might be like
To be the God of Interest Rates
What if I were the Fed?
That all powerful economic being
Tyrant of the markets
Up! Down! Up! Down! Flat!
Would I relish in the power?
Would I love the spotlight?
Would I stand firm in the face of critics?
When I’m feeling down
Would I tickle rates just a little
To show who’s boss?
Would I speak to the future with greater clarity?
Or would I obfuscate just the same?
Would I know what to do in the face of economic adversity?
Would it matter?
Would I foresee?
Or is overreaction inherent to the system?
One day
In a different life
I would like to taste
What it would like to be the God of Interest Rates
