There It Goes
There it goes
sliding down the throws
of market drop
just when you thought you were on top.
Look at it plunge
sinking everyone's 401s
and to think the government
once wanted to invest
in Wall Street's continual mess.
No worries
relax don't hurry
all those CEOs and financial gurus
hid their payouts, not in euros.
Millionaires and billionaires
have neither worry nor cares
with loads of currency to spare
and you in your beleaguered funds
fall low and lower expunged.
It's okay, we've seen it all before
foreclosures, bankruptcies for the poor
there always tents and boxes for the homeless core
what's a few unnoticed more
the rich can easily close their doors.
