The Big Short

Before the world was
made to suffer for
the mismanagement
of people’s assets
by corrupt bankers

there were small groups
of wise men who
simply looked and
foresaw the truth.

They got rich
We got screwed
Banks got off

The Big
Short of

It!

Kp Nunez January 21, 2016 at 8:46 AM Your poem got me interested in the movie! This form is very challenging, having to fit the gist of the story in so short a poem. I likes!

Daver Austin January 20, 2016 at 2:05 PM I must see this movie, though it is a little too late for me to profit from whatever I may learn from the flick. Who meeds nunny anywho. Hey, Sam - another double and set em up for the crowd. Love, Dave
