Peachum's Morning Song
Sing this as anthem
or hymn depending
on which false
prophet
holds the morning’s
closest
corner : he who was
once
deafened in the
left ear
heard on the third
day how
the lord would
smite him
for what he once
did
in the dark as a
lost lamb
who had yet to
abandon
pleasure for the sake
of
extending his beggar’s hand
to the human resources executive
who might set up bi-weekly direct
deposits.
Better to stay blind than to
see these bankers
whose
mouths ballet
boilerplate
in the light of the
diodes.
Worst practices
will
deliver you; get
off
your knees &
grind
them to dust while they choke
on their coins.
