The Powers That Be whom we fear
Control every voice that we hear
Deploying deception
To shape our perception
With talent in sounding sincere
An ode to The Bankers That Be
The lunch that we ate wasn't free
It's time that we pay
For their crazy buffet
As we crash from their global QT
- The Limerick King
