The Laws of Supply and Demand The staple law of true economics That big corporations always apply When supply is down, the demand goes up And the prices follows right into the sky The higher the price, the more they can get The more they can get, the richer they are The more wealth they have, the happier their life And better possessions are better by far But God made a law that works in reverse A simple law of supply and demand And it brings much more happiness into your life Than any corporate philosophy can The law simply states in plain lucid terms The more that you give, the more you recieve The demand is constant, there’s always a need And the givers are those who truly believe How many times in our lives has it happened We’ve given our all to someone in need Wondering how we will make up the difference And somehow a greater gift comes from the deed Economics professors don’t understand That supply and demand is an instinctive art It never fails to reap the reward For God’s economics come from the heart Get that old textbook and give it a heave And remember to "Give, and ye shall receive" Elizabeth Santos |

Very thought provoking..and so true. This is wonderful! You can never have too much fiction; reality can be such a bore |

This wonderful poem could only be written by one who lives this spiritual philosophy daily Elizabeth ... somehow, it's easy to know that's so true of your nature  Lovely words to live by Liz.Best wishes, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 07-21-2000).] |

Elizabeth, How true!! This is a wonderful lesson for us all to remember. It does always seem that when we help others, somehow in the end we also receive help. After all, it is far better to give than to receive. Great writing!! LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Dearest Liz: Your wisdom in this poem is so profound and you have written it so eloquently. We only need allow His Grace to guide us and all the rest is gift. Love, Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |
