Mistaken Identity
If Barack Obama
were the new Abe
Lincoln he’d end
wage slavery,
unemployment,
underemployment
plus save the Unions,
then ask employers
to give workers the
pay, the whole pay,
and nothing but the
pay instead of using
his powers of oratory
to prop up elitists
engaging in silent
global emaciation
proclamations known
as the business of war
Climbing Towards Descent
The economic air pirates
all in planes the color
of blueberry whiskey cake
flying over the divine right
of bullets and bombs to aid
in the pre-beautification
decimation droppings, and
the ever unfound world
peace beneath each
international pounce
Lighting Devices
If international
economics were
simply an inverted
dome or an 8-arm
chandelier with an
armed maintenance
team and darkness
scattering services
under a silver plated
canopy with beautiful
opaline shades, I’d
go ahead and explain
the way money really
works to the curious
guy at the bar, but he
only knows coal miner
lights, yet he knows
the whole lamp of
the little guy and
we all listen hard
