(For poor dear God. May He be saved from us. Amen!)

Much time had passed.
God 'Almighty'
had been choking quietly
in the 'holy' building;
imprisoned skillfully
by the fanatic devotee.

Many a scholar
and master mason
had given
a 'false to life' expression
to the scriptures
and to his features.

For long,
he had longed
to get away.

So,
one day
he cleverly escaped,
only to find
the crafty politician
on his way.

I have mostly believed,
......in your faith
and in your prayers
......for me.

While long term rates could be seen as an average of short term rates (pure #expectations), investors need a #premium to hold long term debt instruments (inspired by market #segmentation). This premium is a reward for holding less liquid long term instruments and is therefore called the liquidity premium. This implies that even if the yield curve is flat(tish), it will develop an upward slope once #liquidity premium is Included.

If enlightenment depended on a tree, all trees would be Buddhas. It is the awakening, instead of the tree, that is important.
