Liberal Capitalism

The Capitalist

The real battle is forgotten

The battle against ignorance

In a cage, we scream to get bitten

By the executioners of finance

Bloody wars became lucrative

While peace is depreciative

The ferocity of the jungle prevails

The poor are swallowed by massive

Debility convinced all wisdom

The matter of money is awesome

Speculation is disguised in reality

The ugly gambler is handsome

The thief persecutes the judge

Hypocrites wear God’s budget

The cruel harvests in heaven

Stoics made hell their lodge

The sick struggle for safety

You nod, not my responsibility

Blue colors work hard or dye

So, my inquisitions multiply

The daughter disowned her father

The mother became her brother

Virtual friends are all that matter

Folks, neighbors are something other

Blind, we drive in the streets of New York

Dump, we speak from the high Capitol

We pray to the NASDAQ of the wall

Made from the stubborn fool an Idol
