Wading Through the Motions
The great,
the good, the faithful, gathering
In conference
halls, to bask in oration,
Of how they’re
going to save the nation
Via three or
four days of blathering,
As well as
much waving of flags of course:
They will have
the answers, once they find them.
Now all
their past mistakes are behind them,
Not that
they have any cause for remorse.
Immigration? Free Trade or
Protection?
All the threadbare old arguments elide
As markets, not politicians, decide,
No matter who might win an election.
Leaders speak! Delegates go home
again,
While ills of capitalism remain.
D. A.
