Can a life be forlorn
shaped by Swedish porn?
Selling soap can get boring
mobs do crave noble gorings.

The Dutch do scheme
in Hong Kong dreams
while czarists tilt
at windmilled spleens.

A power void of great extent
invites you in to pitch a tent.
Circus barkers of every wean
cry and wail to make the scene.

Tho never lampoon Rockerfeller's charity
'tis easier sport to obscure clarity.
As leader's past were trust busters
today's wear blinkers as exo-dusters.

The globe spins faster every turn
stakes are raised, cities burned.
Each and all want to make the news
who is next to pay their dues.
