1608 - The inverted pyramid

The pyramid is inverting this week
Just for a moment. It will be righting
Itself in due course. Sheikhs don't need to shriek
Across Arab lands. No need for fighting
Just replace your top men and say nice things
Act like you care and want to share the wealth
That you and your friends and family bring
To the top table. Let us drink your health
Raise our glasses and watch the masses. Stealth
Will return them to their flats. There's a creak
In the state machinery needs oiling
With Yankee money. There, that's better. Self-
Righting, see the pyramid's man-made peak
Once more squash the poor's hopeless uprising
