Hedge fund

My job is to watch shadows

to count bees and study rabbits.

For this I am paid very well.

It is right that it should be so.

For who else knows their habits

or what to pick from the hedgerows?

I would not change any of it

for all of your financial stealth

or the indifference that you bestow

daily upon this suffering world.

For there is nothing in the wealth

of all of your counterfeit gold.
