Watching Wall Street

Watching a river
as it turns
Picking up speed
then turning snow white
is so clinical

Watching my wages
saying goodnight
Before I have enough
to treat the world well
makes me critical

Watching old money
create the new greed
Grinding to dust
all the middle class seeds
should be criminal

Rolling down Wall Street
in a big tank
Growling like a rebel
with a black flag
would feel incredible

Watching my fortunes
as they turn
Keeping my traction
never let them burn
the individual
