homo economicus

homo economicus
lives for his own gain
who cares about others' pain
when the lame dont even help the lame?

and the blind lead the blind
as my mind fogs up and my conscience whines
but it is ignored in pursuit of more
more happiness more wealth

more for me and less for you
for i am free and you are a fool
even though you are tied up
by me, for to me you are but a tool

i am the economic man
the bloke with a plan
to kill you and sell you
bones, skin, flesh and blood
any way i can

  1. We're all closet economists. I think that's what buggers you the most.
