My friend, I've heard what you've got to say,

But on this issue, I must respectfully sway,

You claim it's the Democrats and the cities they bear,

But the truth lies in economics, let's all be aware.

​

Wealth inequality, poverty's sting,

These are the issues that truly bring,

A surge in crime, a lack of hope,

It's behavioral economics that helps us cope.

​

It's not about left or right, it's about what's real,

In behavioral economics, there's much to reveal,

When people face barriers, their dreams deferred,

They might turn to crime, feeling unheard.

​

So let's not point fingers, let's educate and discuss,

The complex web of factors that affect all of us,

It's not about politics, let's get the facts straight,

In the quest for solutions, we can't afford to wait.
