follow the money

Piketty contemplates democracies
and--being who he is--he documents
the downwards ratchet towards plutocracy
as bankers come to own their governments.
The pseudo-Left of Clinton, or of Blair
expected laborers to fill their ranks.
But--tangibly--made clear they didn't care
enough to risk the ire of WallStreet banks.
A Sanders, or a Warren terrifies
the Few controlling credit, trade, food, gas,
and media that promulgate big lies
about whose platform serves the ruling class.
Unbalanced discourse, written by the Right
does nothing to redress the Workers' plight.
