I woke up today to find The world had lost its shine. The markets crashed and stocks were down, The news was filled with a frown.

Everything felt off and strange, Like I was living in a deranged. A glitch in the matrix, perhaps, Where nothing was as it maps.

The economy was in a recession, People were filled with a deep depression. Jobs were lost and businesses closed, The future seemed bleak and exposed.

But as I looked around and saw, The resilience of people and their raw. Determination to fight and overcome, I knew that we could be done.

For even in the darkest of times, There is still a glimmer that shines. Hope and strength from within, That can help us all win.

So let's embrace this glitch in the matrix, And use it as an opportunity to fix it. Together we'll weather this storm, And come out even stronger and more reborn.
