To Stand or Stand Down?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

.

I vote STAND, then hasten to add

Lest multiple czars I do make mad

Apprehending little enough bravery

This is rhyme principally cautionary

Not Rebel Will with which it grapples

But distinction of our own Bad Apples

 

The smallest percent of a little fraction

A dreadful Few without compunction

Enfants Terrible and International Elite

Nepotism, cronyism, favoritism and spite 

Cliquish and clannish, cloaked in deceit

Greed beyond measure, limitless conceit

The tiniest membership of greediest Assholes

has betrayed man and country for selfish goals

 

The Haves who honorably earned their wealth

‘Stead of watching fortunes frittered by stealth

Would better cut bait with the Robber Baron

Begin with audit of Hank The Bank Paulson

Proud rich class known for excellent endeavor

Must smite derelict few to re-gain mass favor

 

To what purpose protect the Kingpins

Whose names will fall in history’s dustbins

In the fullness of time and underling rage

When blame is memorialized on the page

The best, the brightest, the richest, the statesmen

Ought recollect the pitfall of guilt by association

 

Deliver the Bad Guys unto public ire

Cast cloak and dagger upon the pire

Success and wealth are not crimes or offenses

But woe to those who provide Crooks’ defenses

Not class versus class but classes versus classless

If phoenix-like, Reason would rise from the ashes

To Stand Or Not To Stand?

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

I vote STAND, then hasten to add

Lest multiple czars I do make mad

Apprehending so little bravery

‘Tis rhyme merely cautionary

Not Rebel Will with which it grapples

But distinction of our own Bad Apples

 

The smallest percent of a little fraction

A dreadful Few without compunction

Enfants Terrible, Elite Internacional

Nepotism, cronyism, parent and pal

Cliquish and clannish, cloaked in deceit

Greed beyond measure, limitless conceit

 

The Haves who honorably earned their wealth

‘Stead of watching fortunes frittered by stealth

Would better cut bait with the Robber Barons

The O’Neals, Geithners, Exxons and Paulsons

A proud rich class known for excellent endeavor

Will smite derelict few if they’d gain mass favor

 

To what advantage protect the Kingpins

Whose names will fall in history’s dustbins

In the fullness of time and underling rage

When blame is memorialized on the page

The best and brightest, the richest and statesmen

Can circumvent the pitfall of guilt by association

 

Deliver the Bad Guys unto public ire

Cast cloak and dagger upon the pire

Success and wealth are not crimes or offenses

But Crooks hogtie Achievers with their defenses

Not class against class but classes against classless

If phoenix-like, Reason would arise from the ashes
