    orient express
    all aboard the gravy train
    where the corporate predators dine
    feasting off a banquet of fools
    where half truths and lies intertwine
    howling wolves in designer suits
    pouring from a chalice of excess
    drunk on power and intoxicating greed
    oh accountability is so unrefined.

    Good short poem. Good analogy and imagery. Liked the rhythm.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
