The End of All We Know

The ghostly trio of the new age returns
astride their loophole to offer us the rope of Lenin.

Bear ye witness to Armageddon.
What goes up must fall down, down, down,
Tumbling from towers in silvern torrents:

credit derivatives (undifferentiated);
collateralized debt (which is wealth);
and contracts for the future (for there is none);

Phil Gramm, philosopher king, has struck the sentry dead.
Phil Gramm, philosopher king, has turned our gold to lead.
