Haughty members officiate
in lofty paneled splendor
Each looking the initiate
though who knows mere pretender?

They bow down to Holy Economy
while in pseudoscience dalliance
suspiciously bit like astrology
in mantic Wall Street misalliance

With technocratic virtuosity
interprets the arcane, complaisant
with ceremonious pomposity
befitting Elite turned complacent

Of social justice little said
by those bailed out Capitalist banks
or of folks hanging by a thread
in desperation-filled serf-like ranks

While The Fed & other Elite conspire
to keep people down in debt-ridden mire

+)
-complaisant = showing a cheerful willingness to do favors for others
-Fed = here: The Federal Reserve Bank. The ‘Central Bank’ of the United States & globally which claims to be independent while owned by banking interests
-mantic = having the power of divination
-Socialism = here ‘reversed’: the government keeps saving Wall Street through bail-outs of private banks, while the people struggle mightily in the harshness of vulture & casino capitalism
