Tempest

06/17/2022

There once were two men named Sung Kook
Hwang and Halligan, these monsters who rook.
Conspiracy and fraud.
Yet it seems rather odd,
That nobody cares how much that they took.

Brokers demand collateral
Bank rush for cash was admirable
Investment banks panic
People running manic
The big fallout was only natural

“Archegos has just gone defunct!”
"Investor just had 20 billion dunked!"
"What pushed him to lie?"
"Does he want to die?"
"Arrested: Bill Hwuang and adjunct!"

20 billion lost in just short of 2 days
Billy boy's stuck in the bucket and stays
His crimes were recorded
His failings reported
80 years he'll be stuck in an ever-graying haze
 
Stock market manipulated
Stolen bonuses were fated
Workers fired per level
Stock buyers see a devil
Inevitable stock crash awaited

Stage of attention blinks at a sign
Huge money scandal; their turn to shine
Kim K. sends a new tweet
Tells Bill to hit the street
Now the spotlight's on her new glass of wine

Elon acts a fool; “he's just a troll”
Bezos is a crook; “continue to scroll”
Trump stirs national coup
“Him and his motley crew”
No one knows a wealthy person's goal

Money gives a man or woman power
Taunting common men with golden shower
Jerks placed on pedestal
Must remain skeptical
Pull them down from their babel towers
