Machine

Chasing the markets all the way down
Then up, and around and around
In the rear vision, we see the decision
By then it’s too late and profound
Big sisters already in your back pocket
Applaud as she keeps you alive
Big brothers awake and applauding as well
Taking the change in its stride.
A red river of money dripping with honey
A blue river of hope but how can it cope
Did you get sick from COVID-19
Let’s replace you with a machine
