The Bottom Line
Their only religion
is the bottom line
Moneytheistic principles
that fill their minds
with sugar plum fairies
bonuses and profits
taxes avoided
insider trading
(but just among their friends)
and jobs for their children
who look and think like them.
On bended knees
they pray to the lords
of bigger and bigger banks
and funds that are hedged
and jobs that are lost.
What a wonderful country
they live in
now that it’s theirs
(and the President, too)
with their futures invested
in offshore banks.
--Neil Ellman
