greed rules
any nationality
any size
shape
white and male
oligarchs
created by theft
Balzac tells all
“behind every great
fortune is a great crime”
the Rusky oligarchs
begat 1991
socialism falls
free market time
everything is up for grabs
eight-million square miles
minerals, oil, gas, steel, health care
wheat and land
sunflowers
kopeks on the ruble
capitalism on the move
USA style
not oligarchs here
not crony-capitalists
not robber barons
not fat-cat tycoons
call ’em entrepreneurs
call ’em philanthropists
call ’em free-market democrats
never mention wage-slave
never mention tax exemption
their wealth earned
the old fashioned way
the kingdom oligarchs
called kings and princes
born to rule
born on top
of 350 billion year old
carboniferous ferns
all believe
great wealth equals great people
money can do no wrong
they are god’s chosen
certain
their shit don’t stink
