This Economic Meltdown

It is right there!
No surprise of this,
Should exist at all.

There...
Like a welcomed friend it has been.
And now why it should upset...
Gets more disturbing.

And yet...
The origins will not be uncovered,
Trying to trash those living barely...
In their urban nests.

This economic meltdown,
Had preferred credit attached to it!

And many viewed living in dire straits...
Maybe used as scapegoats.
But their activities,
Need not cause uproar for this debate.
Far less greed 'here' has been witnessed.
