SUBPRIME MARKET CRIME

Babylon crumbles

Wall Street limps along

Goldman Sachs commissions

Subprime market crime

A billion pensions lost

Such a lofty cost

Unbridled excess

Liberty undressed

Overvalued housing

First time mortgage dreams

Raped by Ponzi Schemes

Completely void of logic

So it seems

Morgan Stanley bullshit

Citi Bank’s raw greed

The monkey on our back

A travesty indeed

Joe Citizen is drowning

Nursing ancient rage

Narcissistic daze

Duped

Out of the hallowed nest egg

Our self made flood is rising

American Dream

Is slowly dying

Rest in peace

Sacred 401K

A noble vision shattered

Is there shame in strategic default?

Almighty Spike TV

Sixteen commercial barrage

Yes

I said sixteen

Every 15 minutes it seems

Now that’s entertainment

So many elephants

Stampede our tiny room

Gigantic pile of doom

Such is our predicament

As despondency flows forth

Following its own due course……..
