Market Forces

Market forces penetrate, the feeling
We've been robbed by experts, tilled and shredded
Actively, romanced, deceived, and bedded
Then abandoned. This is not fair dealing,
It is larceny, and leaves us reeling.
We were hopeful, happy and light-headed
Till the blows came, worse than what we dreaded,
And the big surprise, come softly stealing.

That's my money in that banker's pocket,
My own assets running out like water.
If this holds, what will I tell my daughter
When the Market takes off like a rocket,
Falls, and rises, falls again? We mock it,
But we pay. Take them, and make them hotter.
