suckling at tumescent teats
of campaign contributors
government bails out failed
business a politics lewd with
self-serving expedience rising
to flood-level wholesale
corruption anathema to
institutional clockworks of
capitalist economics by
transferring marketplace
risk from those private silk
pockets who willingly play
in the commerce of chance
to beleaguered hunched
shoulders of unwary citizens
taxpayers living their careful
drawn lives by the numbers

the putative leaders who
practice such brazen chicanery
undermine risk-reward ratios
demean the importance of
prudence and license the
profligate ill-made transactions
that steepen the crashing
decline of great nations
