Empty Vessels, Deeper Pockets

Beneath the surface, introverts greater than life    
Yahweh ordered the Holy scriptures with 4 Canonical Gospels    
Ludwig van Beethoven wrote Fifth Avenue - and Eroica    
Giuseppe Verdi created Requiem, and Madame Butterfly    
Jesus wrote the radical Sermon on the Mountain    
Amadeus Mozart wrote Eine kleine Nachtmusik    
Auguste Rodin created the Thinker, and the Kiss    
William Shakespeare wrote Hamlet: To be or not to be    
Frank Sinatra added: Do-be-do-be-do    
Washington Roebling built Brooklyn bridge.    
   
John Doe, Esquire, MBA - US Certified Stockbroker    
in the business of making money, with other people's money    
before it turns into dust altogether, reduced to rubble    
Oh no, have no offspring, can't take it with me.    
   
yet Doe lives in bigger houses, drives better cars    
visits prettier prostitutes, and far more of them    
life of stock-brokerish comfort, nonchalant Vanity Fair    
baking caviar sponges for golden coffee mornings    
hosting bridge evenings with steak and lobster    
luncheons always start with sherry, end with fool.    
   
Shrinking Violets, preciously vulnerable Daffodils    
versus King Kong, the roaring Gorilla in the boardroom    
while shyness is an under-rated form of suffering    
over-confident stockbrokers make more noise
as they're fully licensed & insured.    
   
That's their CFA core-business    
that's what-they-do-for-a-living    
empty vessels with deeper pockets    
not much greater than life.
