Short Shareholders Poems

When, at the annual general meeting 
of Walrus Armaments Incorporated
the Chairman, Mr. Carpenter,
reported to shareholders that,
despite the current global turndown,
business was booming
and contributing to world peace,
the  applause was thunderous.

 At the buffet afterwards
 the delicious oysters
excited comment....

She said it ain't fair,
She said she uses fair body lotions,
Left me singing pills and potions,
Say , love lies in the eyes of beholder,
I looked in her eyes ,
Full of sight,
Telling her i have new shareholders,
To your heart,,
I said i hold you like a key holder,
Sunrise pass and sun sets ,
Either sunset ,
I will hold your hand till i see a better phase....

The grocer still smiles at the family
Passing by his counter, owl-eyed at the
Fresh food display,
Shot down in the streets defending freedom,
While shareholders measure outcomes.
In the forest, a doe watches her fawn nibble
Plant growth-
O Holy God, save our souls!
Soldiers march in protest-
Lance the lies! walk the tallgrass,
Finding peace-

           Finding

                   Peace

By day I move in shades of grey
Just another suit
Waiting for the boot
As the shareholders bay for blood

A lonely tear falls
In my microwave meal for one
Will anyone miss me
When I am gone?

But when I get back home
The laptop sparks to life
And life begins again
The caviar of avatars,
They all fall at my feet

A heady surge 
Of pixellated power
Wipes out the pain
Of my darkest hours...

Oh, how the market is a dropping
It’s dropping oh so low
The DOW is in the toilet
How low is it to go?
The shareholders, investors
They’re selling all they own
Sending all the prices
Truly down below
The rumors are a spreading
Not all of them are true
But the market’s still a dropping
What are we now to do?
I’m watching all the prices
Not watching just for me
But all of my coworkers
Here at Morgan Stanley
OMG!!!...
