Stonks!
The experts are convinced
it's a bull market
or maybe a bear market
either way
they're certain it's a mammal
with four legs, possibly hooves
but to be safe
they're not ruling out claws.
They are convinced
trickle-down economics does work
but only if you have a white collar
-or-
if you've ever attended a
three martini lunch meeting
even more so if you can
write it off as a business expense.
Choosing to buy into this
provides a guarantee of residual income
& a lifetime of resentment
& complacency.
The fix is in;
I'd be remiss if I didn't state the obvious.
A metric shit-ton of regret is in store for
you, mister.
You can't deny
the devil has the best deal
when it comes to plea deals.
He’ll get you prime real-estate
on the 9th green of the
9th circle.
You’ll be a scapegoat
the fall guy
caught red-handed
holding a red herring.
You'll be first in line for an ass-whooping
& last in line for your parole hearing.
If the road to hell is paved with
good intentions, then the road to heaven
is littered with anal fissures.
The saying goes “if you mess with the bull
you get the horns.”
They failed to mention the bull cock.
You’re prime ass, prime meat
in prime time
delicate sensibilities are a delicacy
in the prison yard.
You’ll be sewing golden parachutes
into white collars
in your sleep
in no time.
It’s a bull market after all.
Or was it bear?
Luck Favors the Risk Takers
although
I’ll venture
a guess
the corpse
at
the
bottom
of the chasm
would disagree with that statement
Wrong in all the Right Places
People claim they want honesty
but they're scared of the truth.
They want advice without an opinion.
They want their courage tested
without the struggle
associated with it.
They want patience
& they want it now!
They want talent
yet are unwilling to put in the work
necessary to bring it forth.
It hurts wrong in all the right places.
