Grifting From The Grave

Egyptian royals of old were known
in the 20th century for their lavish abodes.
In their deaths the beliefs they sustained
such amazing dwelling places as the pyramids,
where they could stay there. Because their souls
weighted less than the weight of a feather.

But with the present post modern capitalism,
still developing, the rich are working towards
a new theology of money. Where the eternity
of the richest in the world will to be sustained
by new, more sustainable, mechanisms of inequality.

There Trump and other vampires of finance may well
be dead. But will keep on grifting from the grave,
via financial instruments of arcane design
that they believe will drain those living long after them.

It will be less them living in pyramids amid servants
and great bling, and much more them living on
in more abstract form through their pyramid selling
where for all eternity the poor will keep being bankrupted.
