[Newspoetry] stock tips

Let me get this straight:

you lay us off, then you want us all
out of patriotism
to buy the damn stocks
even you won't touch.

What money should we spend on these stocks,
our tax refunds?

Your major indexes are,
near as I can tell,
going straight to hell
along with all of you would-be war profiteers --

God can see the invisible blood
on your hands.
