THEY ARE OUT THERE

They're out there you know.
They're still out there
on Wall Street, on Madison Avenue,
walking around in business suits
white shirts and ties,
carrying executive briefcases.

They're still out there
in offices, in board rooms,
around conference tables
making deals, making money,
making mudpies
with their head in the sand.

They're out there in first class
playing games on the stock market,
gambling their lives without knowing it.
Better still, knowing somewhere deep inside
that they're on the Titanic
and it has already struck
the iceberg of their overindulgence.

Don't wake them up!
They don't want to know.
The boat is sinking.
