Heard about an old idea that's morphed to something new,
People helping other people - this is what they do;
Rather than a painful trip to beg some giant bank
For a loan, they're asking strangers. Internet's to thank.
Someone with a good idea will post the thing on line
Looking for investors and - so far - it's going fine.
Catching on in Europe, where it's known as "Peer to Peer".
Wondering if Occupiers ought to try it here?
I believe the movement, if it wants to change a thing,
Has to now agree upon a single song to sing.
(Maybe it's not peer to peer but fixing our campaigns...
Super PACs are dangerous.) We have to use our brains.
I know smarter folks than I - more actively involved -
Must be trying very hard to get this problem solved.
Hope that they're more organized than first impressions seem;
That the Wall Street Occupiers don't run out of steam.
Pick a single issue. Stay on message. Talk it up.
Find a worthy Kool-Aid and then pour us all a cup.
...
(Want some proof we need to have a single message sent...?
Ask the poor Egyptians how their last election went.)
