Let Them Eat Ice

Greed has gravity of its own.

Bashing down without a care

as long as the money comes home.

A millionaire? A billionaire?


A trillionaire? The next step’s where

the money supply is blown.

Quadrillionaire? Quintillionaire?

Is there anything left to be owned?


But that’s not important.

Naysayers are morons.

They don’t got an argument.

Look at your bank statement:


You caught them all. Their protest’s irrelevant.

You can sue yourself when you’re the president

and offer yourself an enormous settlement.

No wisdom at court. No jesters’ intelligence.


Yes greed has gravity; money falls in;

tributes from terrified companies, scared

of what you might label an overnight sin.

And you know more than anyone else about them.


You make atheists pray

for a swift judgement day

and the piddling cost

is that everything's lost.


Who will buy this beautiful morning?

Such a day for a burial plot.

Another boy crushed and forsaken whilst clawing

at a box made of maple and not yet paid off.
