Greed is Good!*

Snippets, in 3 lines ...

Greed is Good!*

Once upon a time,

a dangerous Clown arose

and became a King.

.  .  .

Immediately

he replaced much that was Good

with much that was Not.

.  .  .

And some folks rebelled,

and some just buried their heads.

And soon Bad was Good.

*Gordon Gekko in Wall Street (1987)

In traditional Senryu/Haiku format

Inspired by MCS's poem, Moral Bankruptcy.

As I recall, Michael Douglas played the part of Gekko. The dangerous clown would have been the better choice. He wouldn't even have needed a script.

We find ourselves in an alternate universe where life is lived a*s-back-wards. Glad I could provide inspiration, but the orange abomination offers more fodder than we know what to do with it.
