With a middle name like Arbitrage,
It’s between two sides you play.
You get to set, both the bid and ask,
Because you treasure the grey.
You have got a line on everyone,
Force a choice, only heads or tails.
But the One who never owned a coin,
Proved your ambition was just gross sales.
It was by wisdom and your trading,
So very wealthy you became.
But when that brightness compounded,
You chased the rally of your own name!
And prior to complex derivatives,
You see its simple, crystal clear,
Before IPO lies issued from your mouth,
The red herring was in your own ears.
And I’ve seen all the prospectuses,
Got a free meal and heard speculation,
The title, which if I remember right, was
“Did God Really Say”, a presentation.
So now economical with the truth,
You’d rather ask than answers give.
But it’s a single tip you’ve freely shared,
An insider trade humanity relives.
Credits due of your shrewd structuring,
Collateralized Mankind Obligations.
And even how you sold, prior to that,
Thirty-three percent of the angelic population.
However, like me, you can read the chart,
And the line of your average rolling year.
It seems you thought yourself equal to Him,
But your Ponzi scheme will soon disappear.
Now to be fair, I feel I should warn you,
This is more than a country club detention.
From what the word says, which yes, He spoke,
You’re in for suffering beyond comprehension.
And astonished, all will look at you,
All people, CEOs and kings.
Your market will crash and be cast down,
With you forever bound in fire and sting.
