A Poem on War:
ReplyDeleteThe War Is Here
By
Michael La Crone
11-27-2014
Battles over there, nothing to fear;
Iraq a sideshow, the war is here.
1929, all over again;
stock market fraud, now as then!
Free stock, for Insider bosses;
2008, 401k losses!
Bonus gifts, by the millions;
retirements ruined, by the $trillions
Corrupt finance, bankers lied;
war on workers, justice denied!
Fraud the weapon, bankers deployed;
public deceived, lives destroyed!
Bankrupt Detroit, transfer of wealth;
perfect storm, parasitic stealth!
Wages earned, shovels digging;
savings lost, financial rigging!
Government captured, growing the costs!
How to stop, the mounting loss?
Insider claims, investors no voice;
zero-sum games, rights without choice!
Betrayed trust, workers’ debt;
never forgive, never forget!
Congress feeding, on insider loot;
Bankers’ finance, fraud at the root!
