Voodoo Economics

I turn on the TV lay my head back and watch an economist presenting a business report he sounds more like a wizard casting a spell with magical names like Hang Seng, NIKKEI Dow and NASDAQ in a mad induced trance investors gamble their savings chasing after an illusive dream of rags to riches, riches to power then abracadabra like voodoo magic one company merges with another forming a faceless conglomerate with a strange Orwellian name in a surrealist nightmare of unrestrained power and greed the wizards of alchemy work their magic but quicksilver remedies and snake oil cannot stop the suffering of millions who are doomed to live in a world ruled by the lingering forces of voodoo economics * Penned by Scarecrow Joe
