Illegal Advice Poem by O Anna Niemus

It was not just that
the bank was enabling war,
war profiteering
ecocide, animal slaughter, and
pharmaceutical pricegouging,
with its
loan portfolio. It was also
a predatory lender with
a history of redlining.
It was a factor in the use of
its questionably obtained capital
to destabilize governments overseas
and was now doing so in the US as
well.
It was a forecloser and an evicter,
illegally advising homeowners
that in order to sell their homes
they must evict all the tenants.
It was allowing fellow corporations
to seize money out of the poor
out of bank accounts without
due process.
