Seduced By the Subtil Sound

Seduced by the $ubtil $ound



Put your elephant ear to the ground,
and listen pachyderm carefully
Do you hear the err stampede sound ...
stimulus assisted thievery deed

There’s been a clandestine meeting
at the Guv’s backroom, ivory Oval table
Secret society plans
got discussed after a pirate greeting:

“Jingle jingo, ho!
Mingle that death germ, yo!
Coughing coffins don’t pass Go!
Collect the money subtilly stole!

The Dons of the gobbling globe
are putting trillion$ into their one-arm bandit $lot
There ain’t no oversight probe
to see who’s double dipping into the taxpayer’s pot

Can you hear that ‘coined phrase’ sound — 
Telling hope po’ citizens
richer prosperity will be ‘trick-ling down’

Blind mice hearts are getting seduced
by the cobra charmer’s horn
Boa induced purse needs
are a-putting the squeeze
on that agreed deficit-spending truce

A plundering tone in major D
got seismic depression paltry
of pockets picked empty   ~   Quaking thought waves
cratering poverty,  fearfully coming virally

Pilfering lobbyist moans
got an executive order of grift execution
to do silent heist carry on

Now, can your tusk ail mind
hear the hog murmuring under the ground?
The day of spoils ill-gotten b’ruptcy abound,
G-mob thieves of every kind

There’s a seductive drone 
whistling past the pyramid scheme graveyard
of your no bank account savings a-dying hard — 
So a-cyber long dead gone

Don’t dare ear tarry in the impoverished dirt,
which burial groan (from dis mo’ wallet hurt)
$afari pocket poacher$
know where to find those 
po’ ivory-rich bones 

Can you hear that ‘chiseling chuckle’ sound — 
Telling those graveheart citizens
revival e-con-omy  lie on pickpocket ground
