Franchise For
Sale
by Rico

The Caligula
Franchise,
A great international enterprise,
A return on investment?
Just take a sneak peak at the crew at the
helm.
Some of the best of the best in any major
town.
A true mirror of what we have always been
hidden behind the curtain of niceties,
politics
financial games and gains
where money bespeaks of equality,
fraternity and hope.
Where the words embraced with open arms,
a mirage hidden behind that open
franchise
sold for blood and money.
The Caligula Franchise there in all its
beauty,
its true face
for the world to observe, and shiver with
delight
or fear,
depending upon the whim and wit of those
who knit the net
of choice my dear.
At the apogee of power? I wonder where
the cracks are?
Will the rebar bend as the Richter scale
is peaked?
And the shake and thunder of bluff and
blunder
bring another empire if not dead
rent asunder or to its knees?
Pray tell This Caligula Franchise to who
does it bow?
What cost to the franchisee in heart and
soul,
as if they have one.
A Weltanschauung that goes no further
than their nose,
their pocketbooks and painted toes?
This franchise along with a congress of
fools, toadies and mules,
just tools.
And those of us who mentally, physically
and in some cases
gave their lives fully to this ideal,
an ideal franchise that was never
supposed to be mass extended,
when you look into the writings of the
founders of this franchise,
except when the need for dollars and
bodies
required the sacrifice, well let s give
them a slice
then agreed secretly in a court supreme,
renege piece by piece by written piece,
until we re back to the beginning
original sin,
the original in
for those few with the money and stomach
for this bargain.
The franchise takes back what was given
at the point of a gun and a legal end run.Would
you like fries with that?
