Trade wars are brewing like a storm up high
Tariffs rising making everyone sigh
Markets quiver under skies so gray
Economy's dancing on a thin wire's sway
Inflation creeping like a thief at night
Jobs are slipping out of sight
Prices soaring no end in sight
A stagflation nightmare takes its flight
Oh we walk the line on shattered glass
Future fading in the looking glass
Volatility's our new best friend
Economic dreams begin to bend
Trade partners frown from distant lands
Haunted by the squeeze of tighter hands
Goods once flowing now meet a halt
As we tumble in this somber waltz
Echoes of caution ring in the halls
Yet the deafness follows our miscalls
Panic grips as markets dive
We wonder if they'll survive
Oh we walk the line on shattered glass
Future fading in the looking glass
Volatility's our new best friend
Economic dreams begin to bend
