A Family Affair

The scene from indulgent debt ridden family:
Toad AIG strings notes to unlabeled bonus fields,
Unconcerned a Grand Old Person dances to tune,
Yonder the mirror conceals TG's under the belt shot,
Awakened transparency in desperate steps:

Untouched assets loose weight in real estate structure,
Take a hit to tumble below contracted capital,
Owners ride the trough swallowed by insiders’ guilt.
Pay by the nose or choose to drown in unjust tilt. 
       
Future is bright the signals strong and critical;
Heed to the demand for a new family song.

Picture Quote:-
“Bringing this back around…
The young boy is AIG, the dancing lady is the GOP, the shortsless guy is Geithner and the
older woman just coming into the room is the American public.”
