HAIL TO THE CHIEF

Hail to the earthly created deity

The capitalist that is on a roll

Hail to the man-god

That eventually does so much wrong

Bow at his feet

Sunk into the pit

Of wanton excess

That fills the bank only temporarily

Bask in his glow

Whose radiance hides

Wrongs that may never be made legally right

But who has a strong following

Praise him

Whose values all uphold

For they think they will never lose

Nor the winning streak ever end

Glorify him

The shark that is both a bull and a bear

Who tricks even the authorities

But is caught out by ambitious lies

The genie with the midas touch

Is but a mortal

Who feeds off of greed

Endemic in the system

Too late is the realisation

That his sparkle can dim

Some lose everything

All create a suspicious din

He will end up slain

As the unlucky few do

Blamed for omens that none did see

He will have eternal infamy

Poverty now ravages the trustworthy

No one was cautious

All believed the fantasy

Hype made everyone a lot of money

All is now laid bare

Profits are diving

Accountants are trawling

Governments are contemplating

Panic is spreading

He has long since fled

With a pot of bloodstained gold

Eventually he will be brought back

Into the capitalist fold
