Stones For A Glass House

Fracture the structure of Hayek and Friedman,
their fragile farce of maniacal greed,
and the men who are blinded by the glare of its clarity
who gorge themselves while beckoning austerity.
Let him without need cast the first stone,
or shut his able mouth and turn his aim toward his own home.
If anything you've ever said even remotely mattered,
you'd stand in the center as each story was shattered.
As long as the future isn't completely dark yet
you'll keep force-feeding us that foundation of the market,
but a rose tint would be as blind by any other name.
Try clinging to your rock as it comes crashing through the frame.
A secret society of sycophants and hacks
and a cognitive dissonance to mend all the cracks.
Let him without need cast the first stone,
or shut his able mouth and turn his aim toward his own home.
If anything you've ever said even fucking mattered,
you'd stand in the center as each story was shattered.
