Trade

2781

Sell high, buy low

 

Spread: part of the scheme;

 

Cleverly devised algorithms..

 

Smart money gobbling the weak.

 

Greed makes them bleed.

 

But I wonder what happens,

 

When there's nothing left to trade..

 

With angry hordes to feed

 

When they can't buy it, when their in a squeeze?

 

When all the chaff has been blown away..

 

When what is precious, has its say...

 

          Patience pays.

 

So hold on tight, for when the time comes  -

 

  Those that are holding, will have finally won.

          Well written. Your poem explores themes of trading, greed, and the eventual consequences of a market driven by short-term gains. It suggests that in the face of financial desperation, patience and the ability to hold onto valuable assets will ultimately lead to success.

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          My friend, this reads like a warning spoken calmly while everything shakes. The tone is measured, but the tension underneath is real. It feels less like market talk and more like moral pressure building. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
