The human race is a fallen one,

And cannot be improved;

Shades of evil thus inform

Its best, better, and good.

The best are reason-infected,

The better sometimes converse;

The good follow instruction

That most suits their purse.

The best have no religion,

The better have a moral notion;

The good are honest followers

Of godman who promises promotion.

Capitalism is successful because

It addresses the good;

The good know what is best for them,

They see the trees but not the wood.
