Soothsayers Brooksley Born And Cherilyn Lee Or That Was That And This Is It Poem by Joe Rosochacki

If only they would have listened,
The Congressional and Senate hearings,
If Michael Jackson would’ve, could’ve, should’ve,
Have taken advice from his nutritionist/nurse he found over-bearing,
Things might’ve turned out different.
Brooksley Born,
(who was the chairperson,1996-1999 for Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC))
--you’d said “Who? ” is a brilliant woman that foretold the economic collapse.
Cherilyn Lee did not procure Diprivan for Michael Jackson,
She did admit,
Michael later would lapse
-and die
-he was in the process of doing his final tour “This Is It”.
I became knowledgeable of Brooksley Brown; she was on PBS’s FRONTLINE.
All during this economic meltdown of 2008-9 I have heard nothing about her.
Not even a colloquia’s worth of a “dime”.
But she had knowledge or gut instinct or intuition based on solid economic theory,
That the financial/investor bankers are dealing with unregulated ‘OTC derivatives’.*
The camp of Greenspan would later admit they were wrong, so sorry.
So much for Wall Street being secretly deceptive.
Cherilyn Lee would not/did not secure Propofol (Diprivan) for Jackson.
Michael didn’t heed advice, Michael died, “That Was That”.
It is imperative that people who have power and money listen to people who have less,
Because they shouldn’t be in their mess,
Having listened to their ‘guardian angels’, their conscience, to separate wrong from right.
Cherilyn and Brooksley were amongst the ‘guardian angels’,
--- but they were dismissed.
