Slurred Emotions

Bear Sterns

3-21-08

The wall between our streets
is too high to jump
and too wide to bear.
Your lemon socialism
isn't bailing anyone out now.
Not the hunters,
gatherers or
scavengers.

Beware the truth!

The harmony of geniuses
is eating my social security
and the only winner
is your          ess you vee.
We can no longer afford
capitals
when $56 barrels of oil
are sold to the public
for over a hundred c-notes.

Bare the truth!

Your exclusive idealism
is that those who aren't as rich
as you
should still live like you,
only so you can
carnivorously devour them
later
which wins you
your deserved karma.
When the stocks fall
and your money
becomes no better than mine
I will not buy the pennies you sell
to see you make
an honest dime.

Beware the truth!
Bare the truth!
Declare your use
or become the excuse!
We pay your fines!
We do your time!
We spoil under your spoils
         so pay us back
         with all you've stolen
         that we now lack.
Beware the truth!
Beware the truth!
Beware the truth!
Beware the truth!
