Culture Poems

Babylon, 2023

Work hard for your money, thieves steal half it away.
Sell plants on the street, in a cage you will pay.
Pick up a gun for your country for noble wars they begin;
They say if you kill for thieves then murder’s no longer a sin.

Try to save cash, and its value will fade.
Brigands steal from you without having to raid.
But do as they do; “don’t fight the FED”—
Don’t forge a new path; go where they tread.

The thieves & elites all buy the same thing!
They inflate what they own and crown themselves kings.
When thieves can steal more, they certainly will—
So do the same as they do: kill or be killed.

Buy assets when the bank is printing money sky high.
The rich all get richer while the poor barely survive
Be a shark or a trout; it’s up to you;
We all live in a rigged system run by thieves and dumb fools.

Bloody wars, false money, false gods all abound.
The killings called “justice,” the dollar’s called “sound.”
When you eat at a table proffered by rats,
Just don’t be surprised when the food turns to ash.
