MAMMON AND NEWS


mammon bullshit bites us 
and mary laughs
like marx and old economists

sighs for the graphs
going off the charts
and softly camo walks away

fantasy falls from the golf course
from downtown, the city
on to the common man

planes on the stark apron
disembark
blacks in camo

and an old honky
puts a hand
to his cancer heart

a standard milf winks
but
not in swimwear yet

banks fall like fight club
and I smile
like marx might have done

I swig from a bottle
take a record off the pile
drama is home tonight

in these trying times of chaos
of stalking fear
confidence has left the markets naked

the germans breed
another brutal backbeat
of teutonic tub thumping

it can centre any heart
a sweaty marine shoots pool

in a hot iraq shed
