Reality Cheque

The train of thought must stay on it's rail
And brook not the slightest interference,
Or, see the span of attention fail
With co-occurring collapse of coherence
Whose structure relies on myriad truss
Which we foolishly think must be free
And somehow make it past all the fuss
The fiscal engineers fail to see...
For men's mental boots are not made with straps,
Making the upward pull a sideways stretch
From easy street dining to day old scraps
Suitable only for dogs playing fetch...
So fetch us now the support that we need
Down from the mountains of malice and greed!
