Stockmarket crash must mean<br>Harsh times ahead for those who're most in need <br>As global greed, ambitions to succeed, <br>Turn topsy-turvy pensions, jobs.

Fools misread <br>Nature's gifts as rightful trampoline <br>Converting water clean to feed machine, <br>Exacerbating stark imbalance, seed<br>Latent Armaggedon, prepare stampede, <br>Overpresumptious pride's fall lurks unseen. <br>Sacrificing sense, Greed's whirligig<br>Triggers events so grave that grave they dig.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>What chances lost!
