The Praetorian Guard

After spending untold hours working on the question of

Fairness in the net distribution of wealth,

What has, until now, been shockingly ignored is  

The cost of protection needed by the 1%,

Those great moralists who live in constant fear of the 99%.

This is no small matter and deserves some public sympathy.

It is not merely the bottom feeders, the losers who have never done

An honest days work in their miserable lives.

The enemy’s list also includes those middle-of-the-roaders,

Those spineless white collar slobs who envy the super rich,

Those office ner-do-wells also pointing fingers at our true saviors.

Danger surrounds these most esteemed of providers,

Without whom the number of private armies would be decimated,

Creating 10,000 unemployed, armed with anger and weapons.
