A cheeky take on Inflation

Inflation, Inflation, thy word is today’s sensation,
Expected to slow down the growth of a nation,
During inflation, money gives you the temptation,
But goods, hardly respond to this invitation.

Is it coz of the cost that kept pushing?
Or that the demand kept pulling,
Economist in me, says that’s not surprising,
While my ego says, isn’t that disgusting?

As an investor, to beat inflation is my thought,
Reminds me of the ‘Economics’ lessons, I was taught,
During Inflation, Short term financial instruments are sought,
Alternatively, Properties may also be bought.

Underdeveloped Financial markets should be tapped,
Alternative Investment opportunities are unwrapped,
To diversify risk, Investment in commodities is mapped
You beat inflation as the Value loss in currency is entrapped.

If it is so simple, why in the world is everyone daunted?
Coz, everyone fears the symptoms where basics are wanted.

Terms do change, today is Inflation,
To follow may be deflation, slow down & recession,
To be aware of the basics is the only salvation,
For all, An Investor, Institution & every nation

They say, when there is a will there is a way,
Why fear Inflation, when you can beat it all the way.
