Humpty Trumpty, the president of all
He and his cronies, atop his Mexican Wall
Then along came a virus
Instigating the fall
Someone blew his nose
And it all came down
The money market, economy
And ‘His’ phony crown
Big and small
Rational reason foundered in human greed
None could consider how to provide what we need
As it all collapsed into egotism’s bleed
A lopsided bloat
In the basket of need
We can all see its origin
In madness—narcissism’s greed
It can’t stand the losing, upholding the lie
It sinks the overloaded boat of wealth from on high
And corrupts money’s purpose
In ego’s irrational surplus
All the beautiful women
And all the clever men
All the underpaid immigrants working
Couldn’t put it together again
And then . . .
All the ordinary people
Ran out and ran in
Until everything was back to normal again.
