zillionaire 1% baby
who wants to thank
those Occupy Portland protesters
who at the moment are putting on
their gas masks daring DARING
the police to gas them
or else demonstrate for all to see
their impotence as
kids trump cops
I want to thank you
for creating magnificent
dramatic diversion
sure to split the 99%
into many angry factions
so that people focus on
what they disagree about
more than what they share
so that people worry more
about law and order
than about their own pocketbooks
because 99% scares me
but a fractioned 99% is
no problem at all
and blood shed over occupation
of a street corner
beats the hell out of
blood shed over my bank account
so I light my cigar for you
Occupy Portland
and I pour champagne for you
and wait for my roasted duck
dinner and meanwhile I
watch TV and admire
and bandanas
and obcenities hurled at police
yes, let's rumble!
because guess what?
the police have more loyal
supporters than you do
so now I can get a good
night's sleep knowing
my money is safe
is safe is safe
and believe me
it's more than 1%
baby
