The People’s Lament

November 11th, 2009 · 5 Comments

A response to “Lloyd’s Prayer” by Jack King

BankBust

Our economy
Which art in shambles
Lesson be thy name.

The banks lent wrong
The money’s gone
We’ve been priced out of Heaven.

Give us this day our bowl of beans
For debt won’t feed our nation
And forbid the Congress to borrow again
From future generations.

Worthless IOU’s art not
The Power nor the Glory
Never, Never, and not Ever.
Amen

    BOAST OF THE BIG

    Tho I walk thru the valley
    Of the shadow of debt
    I will fear no jail
    When I empty the till
    The Fed will refill
    For I am just too big to fail.

    the politicians creed

    we believe in one fraud, and the dollar almighty,
    elector, and creator of mirth;
    and in our party,
    the only one, our lord,

    which was conceived in self promotion,
    financed with taxpayer funds
    subject to no ethical power
    self serving and cherished.

    upon reelection
    we ascend into office
    to be seated in the job that we bought
    pompous and mighty
    and able to buy any judge that we dread

    we believe in the system
    the agenda almighty
    the favors due our contributors
    the perks that we win
    the reelection to the office
    and fraud everlasting

    amen
