"O Almighty Dollar
Hear my prayer"
More profits means more strippers
in the Bar where they can perform
lapdances, while I'm away from
my fat bellied wife...." LOL
> O Almighty Dollar,
> I beg Thee hear my prayer!
> I yearn to be Thy servant,
> Spread Thy gospel everywhere.
> I’ll exploit my fellow man,
> My brother and my friend.
> I’ll use him and abuse him;
> He’s but a means to an end.
> I’ll sacrifice his blood to slake Thy thirst,
> For that Thou dost require.
> Down he’ll sink into the grave,
> While I rise ever higher!
>
> O Almighty Dollar,
> I pray Thee bless me now
> For I submit myself to Thee
> And on my knee I bow.
> Fill my wallet full of green,
> Give me profits through the roof;
> Give me ever prosperous stocks
> And a full portfolio to boot!
> What must I do to earn these things?
> How can I make them mine?
> I’ll work a man eight days a week
> If Thou but hear my cry!
>
> O Almighty Dollar,
> “The fittest shall survive.”
> Thy Word standeth ever true,
> Till the end of time.
> Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done;
> Destroy Thy lazy foes.
> May Thine eternal throne be built
> Upon their glistening bones!
> If one must die for the good
> Of the Company,
> Just line my pockets with some cash,
> And I’ll follow Thee.
>
> O Almighty Dollar,
> Just one last thing I beg:
> I want to be remembered for all time
> When I end my days.
> Just name some building after me
> (One will be enough)
> And call me a “philanthropist”
> In all the books and stuff.
> Meanwhile I’ll make sure to try my best
> To jockey for position;
> I’ll lie, I’ll cheat, I’ll steal and kill…
> And call it “competition.”
