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
