We are economists - An inevitable verity that you can’t deny. We creep into every field to feed upon everything Like parasites, yet not dependent. We amalgamate calculated psychologies into philosophies of science, Subjecting them to face the everyday world. We are archivists, analysts, astrologists At the same time. We know how to dig out your past and to predict your future Although “We are all dead in the long run” Studying after-life is quite fun! We rule the world But we are humble enough not to say so. Cause, we are economists - Apparently Shallow, Hard to decipher, Bi-polar, bi-faced, ambiguous creatures: We can suggest you to "Go clear uplands, go and urbanize, globalize.” And then again provide measures for ‘Save forest campaigns’.
We are economists -
The ones to prescribe policies
To describe your tomorrow;
The ones whose decisions
Must take shape in precision;
The ones whose foundations Exist on old pillars
And those inscribed stories can give you thrillers!
We hatch eggs of new theories
At moments of catastrophe;
We counter them,
We burn them down
At the next crisis.
A cyclical reality we are -
Like a phoenix rising
from its ashes.
We are an unstoppable plethora,
An ever unending era.
You talk about Kautilya,
You talk about Keynes,
That’s how our edifice reigns.
Economists do live as saviors.
For men may come and men may go
But We …. Go on forever!
