Blockade on blockade-
time to sell those stocks.
Unplug the power grid,
set for financial shocks.
Peace is a boondoggle
for the dogs of war.
The circle always completes
from ship to shore.
Business means bucks,
made at any cost
until...
all ledgered lost
Shared with dVerse Quadrille #248 – dog and inspired after looking up the meaning of boondoggle and having seen the attached image this morning.

A boondoggle that’s for sure. How those imbeciles are still allowed to be in power is beyond me.

A sharp punchy piece Shaun – your phrase ‘all ledgered lost’ is a beautiful, devastating bit of wordplay🙌

Your poem is sad but true, Rockefeller’s started the mess with refining oil in 1870. (Ford started mass producing cars in 1903) Then once plastics and petro based products became popular (in pharmaceutical industry) they were found to cause cancer so he funded the American Cancer Society. Create the problem, cure the disease…no different than what you decribe Provocative and challenging poem, I love it! 🩵
