For the Dow

Two weeks in, and Price is slumping

The gas is cheap, but no one's pumping

CEOs resigned and dumping;

We don't want to die for the Dow.

POTUS says two weeks suffice,

And he'll help states if they play nice

Lieutenants claim they'll sacrifice, but

We won't die for the Dow.

Nurses burn like Salem witches

For asking for clean, sterile stitches

Scientists wind up in ditches;

We won't die for the Dow!

"Aegrescit medendo!"

While Doctors' protests crescendo

And Corporatists thrive on innuendo, but

We won't Die for the Dow!

While fairly sure that this will end

And hoping not to break but bend

We solemnly our lives defend, for

WE WON'T DIE FOR THE DOW!
