SAME AS IT'S ALWAYS BEEN

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

scrumptious timidity
a barren arc
abandoning as much space
as that of an abyss
with liberal impotence
bravado becomes excluded
tragedies dress themselves up
in the garb of harmless lunatics
plaintive speakers once
borrowing respectability now
which carries with it
astronomical interest rates
that cannot go long unpaid
such mob immorality
short changes a society
that can nary afford
any further erosion
the media in many cases
plays the role of inadvertent
bottom feeder
filtering further to the public
narrow windows peering into
a scene their sponsors only
wish to utilize so to leverage to the
cause of their own bottom line
free enterprise my Merril Lynch foot
green is the most popular black
and American society bleeds money
'Same As It's Always Been'...............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The ever constant pitting of Wall street against Main street and how badly Main street always

seems to fair after such comparisons and realizations of facts.
