"Neolibreligion"
Never mind the Great Depression, or deindustrialization.
We’ve the bailouts, you’ve the fallout.
Our solution is your problem.
 
Finance-based-organizations, conscripted by profits.
Ever-striving for the big payday.
The rules we’ll change, to feed our greed.
Corporate values pushing financial equities.
 
Finance has their bull; freshly gored!
Now co-opted; selling derivatives of fraud.
‘Tis Global Neoliberalism in Global South Development.
  
Never mind the Inquisition, or the latest discrimination.
We’re the zealots, you’re the gudgeon.
Our pollution is your psalm.
 
Faith-based-organizations, conscripted by prophets.
Ever-searching for the one right way.
The rules we’ll change, to suit our needs.
Compassionate values pushing social equality.
 
Religion has their whale; sprung free!
Now converted; serving derivatives of faith.
The Global Neolibreligion of Third World Development.

“US”
Minds conscripted.
False truths depicted.
Lives pre-scripted.
Hearts, conflicted.
 
Less expected.
Sorrowful perspective.
Getting-by perfected.
Love, rejected.

 
   

"On the run to me"
Take to the sea, go!
See others' glee, why they flee.
 
Departed shores, lo!
Tales of yore, of lore.
 
Arduous to start; to cease.
Lessons taken to heart, bring me peace.
