Triggernomics



Lot of money being made in death sales,
plenty pints of iron-copper deposits
Body bags coin-wrapped
are rolling out of the blood bank sin-ters
to the holey pocket hospitals

Everybody knows the 911 cellular bar code:
Zinc life is an Alloy toe tag, 
double barrel ballistic stamped double zero

One tortured, journalistic soul Embassy killed,
ought not break a multi-billion dollar arms deal

The cost of a human life don’t amount to much,
Triggernomics factor out the index finger touch

Emergency peacemaker withdrawals,
blank spreadsheet cover cadaver E-transfer steals
Truth-stretcher gurney 
scrap heap bound on wobbling, bankrupt wheels  

Triggernomics is old school math killa culling skillz
Cemetery analytics is a revolving booming new field

Bio-metrics graveyard green ...
Diggers’ “Shovel Expansion Theorem”
is dirt money laundered clean

Pallbearer pearl handle, pandering profit spikes
are roadkill graded on a dire transit bullet Bell Curve
Numerical estimate figures are splatter imprecise,
double-talk dummy leaders on a heist getaway swerve

And all of the corporate, gator boot suits 
are offshore investing 
in scarlet cash flow Triggernomics

Sepulchre mathematics suggest infirm disdain:
the more genetic sell material DOA lost,
the more pocket health insurance twice gained

Triggernomics got a high mortality cost
