Road Rage on Wall Street

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: October 23, 2011

Has the American dream become a nightmare?…

There's road rage on Wall Street.
It seems no end's in sight.
And often what's so ugly is in tents.
What is worse, good Lord, it's spreading.
There's a road rage in my town.
Yes, the drivers of these protests are incensed.

But their longed-for destination?
It is all over the map.
The anger's more apparent than the cause.
They're upset by corporate bailouts
and the stalled economy
and a feuding Congress that cannot pass laws.

What began back there on Wall Street
is a snapshot of our times.
It's a picture of our strained democracy.
Nerves are frayed and rage is brewing
on the left and on the right.
There's the stock-car party and the one for tea.
