he sputtered Inequality a clot phlegm usually followed that he had to hawk
he squawked about trickle-down
economics since greed founded it cried
that it was a touchstone
he figured then
by now they would have choked to death on it or someone with a healthy dose of common
sense a firm grip and a little spine would have strangled them
he might have but he never aspired to run in circles that
would have brought him in contact with them
an occasional bodyguard has now evolvedmutated
into anxious phalanxes of armoured security has wrought gated communities moats
drawbridges damsels and dragons wannabe royalty and ruthless oligarchs
then the spittle and drivel of inequality
morphed in his mouth he scratched his
head he wasnt saying inequality any
more he said inequalaity unequal
preachers
snake oil salesmen and slippery women
listen they say they have seen the path to Heaven
they are intrepid
Come with me. I will take you. you
bet they will
they promise the moon they paint a
pie in the sky
but first
in order to lead
to ascend
to mount
they must look the part
who would
follow a grubby preacher who would
follow someone who wasnt transported in elegant cars or flew in a private jet
they assure Closer to God
am I
transport?
hed transport them with a swift kick in the seat
of the pantstheyd wish they were wearing dungarees silk aint much of a buffer when screeching
bodily across pavement blacktop or gravel
