Humorous, Yet Spiritual, Afternoon Interlude: The Lloyd's Prayer

Tyler Durden's picture




From Tom Gregory at HuffPo:

THE LLOYD's Prayer

Our Chairman,
Who Art At Goldman,
Blankfein Be Thy Name.
The Rally's Come. God's Work Be Done
On Earth As There's No Fear Of Correction.

Give Us This Day Our Daily Gains,
And Bankrupt Our Competitors
As You Taught Lehman and Bear Their Lessons.
And Bring Us Not Under Indictment.
For Thine Is The Treasury,
The House And The Senate
Forever and Ever.

Goldman.

 

The Lloyd's B(r)ible thumpers coming to a neo-Marxist conversion center near you.

the heck of it all is that scrotum would have us believe that their success comes from hard work, due diligence and brain power, rather than working hand in glove with the fed and treasury.

The FED is my shepherd; I shall not want.

It maketh me to lie down in green shootsdom: it leadeth me beside the still Lehman.

It restoreth my credit: it leadeth me down the paths of leverage for its name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of debt, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy TARP and thy TALF they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my balance sheet with digits; my bonuses runneth over.

Surely profits and influence shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the FED for ever.

Our Profits and our Art along the Foyer

Hollow be thy name

Our Bailouts come

from citizens undone, who now work at 7-11

Gives us this day our daily threads

and forgive us our profits, as we forgive those who profit less than us 

Lead us not into retirement

but deliver us to the treasury

for profits are the kingdom, our power, and our story for ever and ever.

"Then I was given a chart and I was told, 'Come and measure the temple of Goldman and the altar of the Fed, and count those who are worshiping in it. But exclude the real economy; do not measure it, for it has been handed over to the proles, who will trample the forsaken cities for forty-two months.  I will commission my four witnesses (1) to prophesy for those twelve hundred and sixty days, wearing golden sacks.' " -- Revelations 11:01-03

I noticed some viral components to that little ditty. Is it contagious?

God the nihilist. Power for him and rules and laws for everyone else.

He maketh his false laws and realities and triest to confromist me with them.

The prisons his servants build may they dwell in them forever and ever.
