Auctionocracy

Public servant - private auction:

I'm in the bidding for a quick billion.

Do I hear a hundred thousand for this plate?

There's chicken on it!

Chicken enough

To let me call the tune,

To let me play my financial instruments.

I'm in the market for political influences,

The latter-day papal indulgences -

Unholy bargains for special dispensations.

After Bernie made off with all your savings

You still save a vote for us auctionocrats.

Of course, the more you elect us elect,

The more quickly the revolution comes.

But we've already bought enough to overpower

More than once,

Twice,

Three times,
Souled.
