Cliff Poems
Hungry
Let them eat money until their faces turn green for all to see.
Let them devour coins until their blood turns to silver and their veins to bank vaults.
Let them eat and eat until they have no hearts left to content, beat to further riches.
Let every part get fat until they cannot move, cannot produce,
turned to statues-monuments of excessive mineral-ness.
Let them be displayed in the public square,
melted and turned into houses.
Let them devour coins until their blood turns to silver and their veins to bank vaults.
Let them eat and eat until they have no hearts left to content, beat to further riches.
Let every part get fat until they cannot move, cannot produce,
turned to statues-monuments of excessive mineral-ness.
Let them be displayed in the public square,
melted and turned into houses.
