Madoff

Madoff

A Poem by Lepadah

This is not a recession
This is an economic depression
No financial protection
Time for reflection
Madoff made off with a billion dollar scheme
Ransack bloated pockets and blacked out dreams
Capitalist kleptomaniac
West Palm Beach socialites
Navigating through a new way of life
Bankrupted economy
A world wide Tsunami
Forced to adjust or jump without a parachute
We the poor already know
A life time of struggle to survive or die
We are coupon clipping
Buffet fixing
Turn grits into a savory souffle without eggs
Chitterlings into caviar
We the poor know prejudice of food stamps
Medicaid
Wep worker modern day slaves
With no pay
Just a stay and generic medicine
Now we all must wait for a government bailout
A stimulator to ejaculate this crisis
In the meantime we wait
Watching NBC nightly news......
