The Right Column


volcanoes
of economic
gloom

Most of
Montserrat
had to
be abandoned
and a diaspora
of folks
who no longer
have a country
had to leave
and most
would never
be going back.

What volcano
has hit
in the
financial world?

15 million
trees burned
or blew over
at Mt
Saint
Helens.
Many
still float
in Spirit
Lake.
57 people died
when they
didn't believe
that the volcano
would be so bad.

How many houses
covered in ash
and uninhabited
from the volcano
in the 
finanical world?

When Ike
hit
Cuba last month
sixty-five thousand
homes
were destroyed
and yet so 
little
news.

The news
is all and
only
boo hoo hoo
for the
inability 
for municipalities
to borrow
and that 
we need to bail out
the politically
connected.

Let the Cubans
live in the rain?

Created 
economic
volcanos
represent
A collapse of
morals in finance
industry.
This
warrents
700 billion
more dollars
blown out
the crater?
The ash from
this will
burry us
all
for years to
come.

of the 
homeless in
Cuba there is
no news
and we give
no aid.
