at the opening of the account
we owed you the earth
but decided instead to live on hawked time and money
and trade and squander all your resources
all of them
as if they were limitless and always ours to keep
ever going to the highest bidder
running up an unnatural overdraft at such a pace
we poisoned the air with lead writing bad cheques
and now the hot wind of insolvency and need howls in across the sterile prairie and the rising rank waters of desperation fill our footsteps
as we fearfully huddle cradling our things
lest they perish - as if they could!
and seek out protection
limited liability
but at the close of day
at the tolling of the bell
there are no futures and options no credit swaps
beyond the mass grave we have mortgaged ourselves into
a barren balance that will never sprout a single flower in interest nor ever profit by as much as one truly remorseful human tear wetted in sorrow, pity or rememberance we owed you the earth and yet prepare to leave it shorn of value and worth debased exhausted , worked out massively over subscribed and irreverisibly spent this is how we close the account having shunned the economy of nature's double entry bookeeping and karmic thrift we leave nothing bar an eternity to recollect
