Among big banks in the usury business <br />Grew a greed for lucre so strong <br />It changed the way that they loved. <br />They married their sisters <br />And cousins and nieces <br />To keep the money in store; <br />Changed the laws to agree. <br /> <br />Excused for their crimes, <br />During worrying times, <br />'Too big to fail' <br />They were given the bail <br />By the nervous borrowing throng. <br /> <br />Continuing singing their song, <br />They honed their incestuous laws- <br />Were brought down by madness, of course; <br />Bringing the throng down with 'em, <br />Continuing eternal rhythm.<br /><br />douglas scotney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aquinas-on-toast/
