The Cash Tree

What makes an index month the best or worst?

For whom? What about those who just sell short?

The business men and women see the burst

Of bubbles and nosedive stocks of the sort.

Who stands to profit and rake in the cash

When markets are volatile and unsure?

Who stands on notes and who on heaps of ash

When there is no real economic cure?

The soul of the market starts in the mind.

Unfettered, and free it may be able

To fly. The worst of times may someday find

Themselves hunched in fear under the table.

The system of money will always be

In the producer’s head. That’s the cash tree.
