THEY MOAN

 

The malicious winds

Didn’t blow upon her

She was formed of rock

Sheathed in flesh

Adorned with wild breasts

And Cupid’s lips

Ready to curl the toes

Of any man who could approach

            Even the King

            The majesty of strength

            Wisdom of the skies

            Born of love

            Lost to the fates

            The befall innocent creatures

Here in Hollywood

Where the saints march the boulevard

We await the fall

Of the free-market economy

Where prices rose and fell

With the idolatry of the market

            Imagine a free-flowing price

            Based on everything about the firm

            Personality, prospects, banks

            Accountants, taxes, promotion and documents

            Exhumed for the exam

            Dissected by actuaries

            Loaned on by risk assessors

            And funded on the Nasdaq

            With followers on the Tweet/Facebook

            With glee by the fawning typists

            And worship by the owners of stock

            Who loll about the pool

            And moan about the loss of sensation                                201023.1
