the Dow is below 8000

it's stream of consciousness about the economic news, oh dear I am so glad to have music and writing..

oh dear

once the fear begins

there is no stopping it

now, eight years of terror, terrorist attacks,

and that terrorism that claimed the election results

even if it didn't work out..

 

I want to buy a new American car but there isn't a banker

who will lend me the money, it was bankers who knocked on

my door at Halloween with their dresses over their heads shouting

"We're so scared and afraid to lend money to each other and think

we're going to get screwed"

 

what they did was take bailout bucks for bonuses and buy other banks

but barred consumers from borrowing.. schazam! dig that aliteration and I wasn't even trying

maybe I'm the B word, just for fun

 

so now that all the boys on Wall Street have lost their nerve

it's down to those who can take a joke and make it work like faith

 

because fear is the enemy and we've been fed like fools

fed up exactly, is how I feel

 

as long as  bankers own the world, we're in trouble

That B word is really gutteral, its the kind of sound we all use when we get emotional, so maybe we're all the B word or maybe the banks are b*****ds. I liked that image:

it was bankers who knocked on
my door at Halloween with their dresses over their heads shouting
"We're so scared and afraid to lend money to each other and think
we're going to get screwed"

And isn't that end so true.

because fear is the enemy and we've been fed like fools
fed up exactly, is how I feel

as long as bankers own the world, we're in trouble
