What’s in a name?
the Bard asks.
A query of looming gravity
in a period of human depravity.
(In the endless tradition
of frenzied acquisition
Prophets are despised
when Profits are prized;
Prophets are ripped
when Profits are worshiped;
and Prophets are damnified
now that Profits are deified.)
What’s in a name –
now that “God” and “Mammon”
are one and the same? ER
