				The Market

				god's will
				we used to say 
				but nowadays
				it's 
				let the market
				work things out
				like true believers
				we kowtow 
				and spend our dollars 

					--- Julian Crowell


				Freudian Slip

				corporate murder 
				our CEO said
				we knew 
				he meant merger
				he meant lost jobs
				we knew 
				he meant our lives 
				not his

					--- Julian Crowell
