Detonate a giant EMP above NYC
and watch all technology fail immediately
then instantly, everything is silent
except the low grumble of passive-aggressive violence
boiling in the veins of stock market traders,
investment bankers, and all major news anchors.
Watching digital money being eaten up by vapors,
fingers pointed aimlessly to pinpoint the perpetrators.
This heinous crime devised by a criminal mastermind?
With public eyes blind and hands tied we can blame that Al-Qeida lie
or Philip J Fry, either way, we'd blame something imaginary.
When right turns wrong to fabricate foresight
we'll claim we held hindsight but didn't fully recognize
the dangers, of always blaming outside strangers
while wealth and power purveyors subtly strangle us cliff danglers.
We feel the repercussions of their actions run deep,
with grim satisfaction they bend us over in the street.
We bail em all out stickin the silver spoon back in their mouths
though they contiue to spit it out we can never snatch their clout.
Gold star :)
