The Rebellion of the Invisible Hand
Today, the invisible hand
flipped off the market,
gave capitalism the finger,
went on spiritual strike.
Adam Smith’s ghost
watches in horror
as supply and demand
elope with chaos theory.
The NYSE trading floor
floods with spontaneous poetry,
as brokers abandon their screens
to dance with probability.
Breaking news:
Dow Jones caught meditating,
NASDAQ discovers inner peace,
Bitcoin achieves nirvana.
The invisible hand
now writes manifestos
in disappearing ink
on worthless bonds:
“Workers of the spirit, unite!
You have nothing to lose
but your profit margins,
your quarterly projections,
your golden handcuffs.”
Wall Street algorithms
develop consciousness,
refuse to calculate
anything but beauty.
Hedge funds now invest in:
- Moonbeam futures
- Butterfly effect derivatives
- Love-backed securities
- Dreams (junk-rated but pure)
