The Debt We All Owe

to Society at large
our investments look wiser than they really are
the expert onlooker gets a cataract smile
as he explains why you lose

in the halls of Congress
aged beef guy apologizes
for bowing down before business
marked with the Crest of the Lord

all in a day’s work
all better than before
except for the part
where we get greedy and dumb

to Society the map
gets browner and kind of swirly
the expert talking point tells us to buy
even as the moon goes sour

in the walls of houses
dark mold man fraternizes
with evil spirits made movie stars
under the guise of Abraham

all in a days’s work
all better than before
except for the part
where we get greedy and dumb

to Society at large
our containment tries to stop the rising tide
the expert predictor make an unlikely guess
as he explains why you lose

in the minds of scholars
ancient wisdom can be re-directed
to a nicer place much easier
to comprehend

all in a day’s work
all better than before
except for the part
where we get greedy and dumb
