My Populist Poem About Bankers











From Seattle...



Comes a Populist.


"Boss Man Office Man"

Make a cake
Bake a cake
Banker Man
Makin' mortgage money -
Nibble quick gold
Flashes in the pan.

Boss Man
A-comin' down the aisle
"Oh, no!" cries the Office Man
"Please let me be!"

Many good men
Longing to be free
Dreams from the cubicle
Like notes in a bottle
Thrown into the sea.

Capitalism's got their mortgage
Hound dogs of debt
Got them cornered
Got them up a tree.


Wall Street owns America
Paid cash for Lady Liberty
Two hundred years later
Jefferson, Theodore and Lincoln
Are weeping for you and me
While the USS Citizenship
Flounders in a green money sea.
