the economy fell off a cliff
in near unexpected darkness
more or less
when apples and oranges
turned lookalikes
more or less
when believes and truths
combined their experiences
more or less
yet illusions keep on competing
for talking heads
wonderful brains
more or less
money evaporates
singing the blues
more or less
and all returns
under patriotic guise
are claiming rescuers' sacrifices
more or less
so all remains the same
more or less
unless everything
will be different
and free and enforced specifics
real actual differences
