from forty stories high schemers scheme

to sell us shirts and skirts and shit that we don’t need.

Bankers and financiers use the cash to crash the polity

to buy the keys that turn the land of the free

while  little lambs below

bah, bah, bah  their cares away

blaming some for their problems-

counting on others for their pay

in their dog eat dog work-a-hard day…

and some love their obamanation

believing their new master cares

and others hate with the same hatred

the haters had for the birdless bush

when power was theirs -

so haters become lovers

and lovers turn to hate

and the tolerant tolerate

while another Nero plays

and indeed, he plays…
