Oil? <br />Now sold at what? <br />Five dollars a barrel? <br />This is an immediate sign, <br />That something is not going too well. <br />Has anyone communicated this, <br />To those who chose this direction? <br />And they seem to be okay with this decision? <br />There just will be more greed. <br />With those who once had it made in the shade... <br />To stand with others who demand to feed their needs. <br />And you all know how improbable that is going to be? <br />Who is going to touch us anyway? <br />All Mercedes will be curbed. <br />And Bentleys will be driven by those deserving. <br />Well... <br />Why the gloomy faces? <br />Pass the caviar! <br /> <br />'Your Highness? <br />That was one hundred and five US dollars.' <br /> <br />My god... <br />Soon we will build heaven on Earth. <br />Right here in the desert! <br />When you have no clue of who those are <br />You choose to fight... <br />Do not ever pick the ones <br />To try to trick on their own land! <br />You only delay <br />Displaying yourself the fool. <br /> <br />Enough of this rubbish! <br />Where is the imported champagne? <br />And raise that to $115 per barrel. <br />It belongs to us. <br />They made this 'their' need. <br />Do as you please! <br />Have the lox and bagels arrived?<br /><br />Lawrence S.
