When Money Talks, Not Everyone Gets to Listen

“The economy is great,”
Stock Market boasted

“Booming,”
agreed War Machine

Time for another yacht,”
One Percent gloated

“I’m not seeing shit,”
hollered Minimum Wage

“It’s fucking cold,”
cried Homelessness

“I’m hungry,”
uttered Food Stamps

“They can’t afford me,”
Medication exclaimed

“I’m dying,”
gasped Environment

“Like we said, booming,”
Big Money reiterated 

Budget Deficit,
however, missed 
the entire conversation,
unable to hear 
beneath the trillion
dollars piled upon her
