I used to be an Economist

Sep 1

I used to be an economist,

But then I got pissed.

The things we learn in Econ 101,

Is not how this all needs to be done.

It’s full of making an ass out of you and me,

It’s based on theories that aren’t reality.

Sure, to simplify, to understand.

But it’s not even close - an invisible hand?

Bitch, please. That’s bullshit.

The truth is messy and doesn’t fit.

Not within your models, nor any equation,

We’re not numbers and to think so is just an evasion.

I am a heart-filled paradox.

So don’t confine me to your damn box.

I used to be an economist,

Class is dismissed.
