The Economy
Burning bed, the mattress, afire; under it I had two thousand Euro,
as banks can go belly up any time bolt their doors and call the law
to keep the screaming multitude at bay.
Too late, my poor man´s saving burnt to ashes. I shall not cry, soon
the euro will be quite valueless when 10.000 is worth ten pence,
and for that I can´t even buy an ice-cream.
I do regret I wasn´t a good consumer didn´t help the economy
by not using credit cards to buy stuff I didn´t need, I have failed
in my duty as citizen and now harvest devastation.
Easter Islanders Go Belly-Up
By Elton Camp
It’s the most remote inhabited place around
In the far past, with residents it did abound
Then some catastrophe the natives did befall
And death then overtook them, just about all
Nobody knows what trouble brought demise
Some think they didn’t treat their island wise
Perhaps its natural resources they misused
Or one another, the natives may have abused
A work of no worth the islanders did for years
It must have required blood, sweat and tears
Huge stone heads with visages horribly grim
Their entire island the sculptors came to rim
Were they intended to frighten invaders away?
What was their purpose nobody really can say
Perhaps, due to the energy the natives did waste,
The collapse of their civilization came in haste
Oh muffin they say
suck it up princess
not knowing I'm a drama queen
they tell me happily
Life isnt fair
Gag me with a spoon already
look at your sense of humor i get attacked with
at dirst caked with love
and then if i protest a fetish
and not interested in having
some weirdo have his way with me
the comedians i want to see go belly up
break a leg and go on
and i pray for the curtain to fall
and the sweat beads
then pour
and the tears
of rage and anger
and confusion
will later fall from my face
with a sad realisation
Here it is funny man
witness your joke
I'm actually dressed up in suicide
I'm actually on antipsychotics and antidepressants that aren't working
and that ledge you think is funny for me to be on
your pushing me off of
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
sarcastic loud slow laugh in youre face
its not funny unless you meatphorically draw blood
and someone hysterically ends up in tyhe emergency room
its not amusing unless your better than me
even if behind close doors you admit to all sorts of insanity
and thats the sad reason I've spent thousands of salty teras with my head in my
hands
saying god is cruel
