Who knows where I will be at the end of the day/ My thoughts wander in every way/ This is the status as of today …


Two best friends,
Morgan & Stanley dropped by
To talk to us of bonds & stocks and odds and ends
And give the Wall Street a try

On and on and on they talked
And the only thing I took with me
Was a well packed refreshment box
And the decision that I never want to be
Doing work for works sake
That all that I can say
Is “Look how we get payed!?”
And we teach people how to make
More money from the money they have
And then use that all over again
To make some more and increase their gain
And all the while take a slice from the cake.

How drab and dry
How linear and un bent
Where do I come in? Fie!
Where is the human element?
Will I be lost in a dark suit
Tapping away at a keyboard
Till my eyes pop out and fingers fall off?
(Believe me Ive heard of this stuff!!)
To walk blind all my years -
With no hands Ill depend on my ears
And listen to all the other blind folks
Who unbeknownst to them are tied to the same yoke?

I guess the talk did good in the end
A full dinner (chips, patty and sandwiches)
On the breezy MS roof and then
A decision to not be blinded by hollow riches
Quite a bit of work for the day
Lets see how long it keeps its sway!
