HIDDEN AGENDAS

HIDDEN AGENDAS

A Poem by Bill Grimes Jr.

 

As our deficit reels beyond control
Gigantic hoax emerges
Financial oligarchy
Private cartels
Bank of England’s finest
J.P. Morgan assumed control
As the great depression erupted
Twenty five percent of American businesses
Fell to secret clutches
Federal Reserve
Private Corporation
Fueled by U.S Congress tax dollars
Four trillion in debt
Christmas Eve 1913
Fateful day for America
The power to coin and issue money
Now the jurisdiction of member banks
Lady liberty
Borrows money this day
From discreet corporations
Runaway interest
Fiscal house of cards
Built on shaky ground
Corrupt political solution
EFT Act
The debit card
Big Brothers back door key
Privacy erased
In the name of national security
Open ended encumbrance
Real estate bubble
Interest only loans
Adjustable rate mortgages
Bursting in homeland catastrophe
Patriot Act
Welcomes martial law
We call it “land of the free”
I don’t think so

Wow, such a history lesson here...I know not of all that you speak but the ending is superb. We definitely have our problems. Thank you.
