a meeting with your top economic advisors
during what looks to be a major recession
will inevitably reduce to a bickering session
over who stole from who, how much, and for what

human nature is one of the onlooking elephants
it's not that the government is broken or doesn't care
it's just that the hunger for power is there
in the saliva of each flapping mouth and testicular ambition

the biggest problems are only symptoms
of the only thing which we know for sure
each man feeds the ego in a search for something pure
and is choking from the onslaught of shock from fresh flying dirt chunks
