The Protector of the One-Percent
The Protector of the One-Percent
By Elton Camp
Who can identify this collective “man?”
When a threat he does detect
The wealthy he will protect
For he is their special friend
Will stick with ‘em to the end
Moochers half the people may be
Thus, the richest ones hold the key
With them the wealth is found
To others it will trickle down
If more taxes they must pay
Quit investing they just may
The one-percent he does love
Whenever push comes to shove
Lesser ones he will deprive
To keep his favorites alive
The protector has saggy skin
In a trunk his nose does end
His ears are like a huge fan
To big business he’s the man
His initials I decline to tell
I think you know him well
