Murder Incorporated

I remember this song and title
by Bruce Springsteen, aka
‘the boss” from New Jersey

and I thought it’s pretty brave
to throw that title in the public
face of the mafia

and then I thought of global corporates
and their own connections
– to make their money crimes work

how the mob manhandles people
by open force while corporates
have it down to a finessed art

in bed in the back rooms with
world banks and governments
– a secret menage a trois

a quiet love triangle
which is never for love
but a lust for personal greed
