Not too long ago
                         I had a  beautiful friend
                            She had reached
                       her wits end,  found herself  
                          at  the road that bends
                         been in a downward spiral
                           amidst the storm of life
                    for what seemed like quite awhile

                       Met a fellow along Liquor Lane
                   During horrendous financial strain 
                              seeking to drown
                              her insidious pain
                                   A situation
                              with nothing to gain
                    cemented their lovers tortured chain 

                        Two twisted, indentured souls
                          witnessing life as it unfolds
                      Lost their precious previous goals
                      strayed from preconceived molds
                       searching for something to hold
                      A glimpse of warmth against the cold 
                      Their American dream had been ransomed
                      Despite the fact that they had stood bold 

                              Oh my painful choice of purge
                                  embedded in my dirge
                         will forever be simple, redemptive
                                  Grace from Trinity to thee

                            After the global financial crash
                                 there was no secret hidden stash
                            All of their dreams had turned to trash
                                How does one rise from smoldering ash

                           Bewildered and downtrodden
                              sipping their sour mash
                     All the time wondering where is ALL the cash

                            Insidiously the answer they sought
                       permeated all of their  process of thought
                      how will they pull it off without getting caught

                      The longer they sat there and drank
                   Their answer,  it appeared, was robbing a bank
                     Convinced, The Mr. Madoffs in the prison tank
                      Were cetainly responsible for their dreams that sank
                             Their future looking so miserably blank
                      Why should they have to walk the pirate plank

                               Oh my painful choice of purge
                                embedded in my dirge
                          will forever be simple, redemptive
                                 Grace from Trinity to thee

                           In that instant a decision was reached
                          The Beast Unleashed, no need for a priest
                         after all, why should only the wealthy feast
                            Their burdens too required release
                             And so with a POPULAR vote of two
                               It was decided what they would do
                                              Upon reflection,
                               It eerily mimicked the last election

                                           Last week 
                               I bought a flower basket
                      Gingerly placed it on my daughters casket
                                We sang songs of dirge
                           alongside the various clergy

                          I remembered the baptismal promise
                         of her birth as I silently sprinkled the earth
                                I was told with her last breath
                       My daughter graciously accepted her death

                               Oh my painful choice of purge
                                  embedded in my dirge
                            will forever be simple, redemptive
                               Grace from Trinity to thee
