War On Wall Street : Narrative Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

 October  was  cold  on  Wall Street and the  year 2008.

When someone sold  out the city and then they  shut the Global gate .

 Tempers  frayed  as the  recession  stayed , they  were all ready  to  fight  .

 When  the hammer came  down  they  stood  their  ground , on  a cold Octobers  night  .

 

Supported  by  the  bail outs, it  gave  strength , to  the  economy .

 

Politicians where the victims and  they where down upon their knee .

 

The bankers had been  outnumbered by falling stocks that could not  stand .

 

Brokers laid their cards on the table and  they asked for a new hand   .

 

Nothing was dealt and it all went down , it  was a complete  deadlock .

 

 Costing  the  country  a  fortune with  every tick  of  the  clock  .

 

With backs to the wall it was time to go back  to a  hard  old  school  .

 Lessons were taught and nothing was bought , it was time to keep real cool .

 So best  beware  and  reform  the ranks ,for Wall Street can never  fall  .

 A surge came and there was some gain which gave hope for the big and small .

 

The time was right  to open up the gate and trade in these hard  times  .

 

Its too late to save the fat cats loss who have sat on  their behinds  .

 

The war is  still  raging on Wall Street and some are out of a  job .

 

Who will renew the corporate queue and how much more can they  rob  ?
