Here are two poems that capture the situation in America and Detroit. I have the research.
The War Is Here By Michael La Crone 11-27-2014
Battles over there, nothing to fear; Iraq a sideshow, the war is here. 1929, all over again; stock market fraud, now as then!
Free stock, for Insider bosses; 2008, 401k losses! Bonus gifts, by the millions; retirements ruined, by the $trillions
Corrupt finance, bankers lied; war on workers, justice denied! Fraud the weapon, bankers deployed; public deceived, lives destroyed!
Bankrupt Detroit, transfer of wealth; perfect storm, parasitic stealth! Wages earned, shovels digging; savings lost, financial rigging!
Government captured, growing the costs! How to stop, the mounting loss? Insider claims, investors no voice; zero-sum games, rights without choice!
Betrayed trust, workers’ debt; never forgive, never forget! Congress feeding, on insider loot; Bankers’ finance, fraud at the root!
THE SELF-DEALING INSIDER By Michael R. La Crone (May 2006)
Man buys to build, upon his land; Soon finds his castle, sunk in sand! Investor too; stocks, she planned; Takes her loss, at the broker’s hand! Contrived deception, purpose subverted; Empty promises, carefully worded!
Financial ruin, investments a waste; Equity stolen; pensions debased! Foul is the deed, what is the aim? Self-dealing greed! A zero-sum game! Parasite on labor, insider by name; Predators’ sport; the victim to blame!
Politician the servant, regulation, and rule; Duplicitous dealer, the insider’s tool! What’s to be done? A critical flaw; Ownership rights? The rule of law? Illusory claims; a ballot, no sense; An equity bullet, the last defense!
Justice awry, that allows such a cost; Justice restored, that returns all was lost!
