With enough money
Steven believes
you can change minds
The way his name slips by
in the credits for Avengers
and The Lego Movie
to show his old bullies
whatever they wanted
to do to him, it backfired
Steven marks his territory
like a bulldog on a Sunday outing
The United States, Steven says
is the greatest country
to invest in
and we are his investment
Steven shouldn’t be this happy in life
but somehow figured it out
Steven’s made mistakes, but mostly made money
made enemies, but no one who counts
made sure his children will be well-fed
and made children, unbelievably
one marriage failed but the next
venture works like a charm
Steven left behind the satisfaction of banking
to serve the American people
you may think he’s only in it for the money
Maybe he is only in it for the money
but there is love, an honest love
of crunching numbers, balancing wrongs and rights
His interest is self-interest
but in his job he finds a satisfaction
he treasures as much as his first million
Some nights he lies awake and prays
not sure how to value things like hope
but knows it’s worth most when given away
Steven knows everything has a value,
even love
he knows he is rich in every regard
Some days Steven feels so grateful
he just wants to give it all away
not the money but his goodness,
smiles bigger than his mouth, free hugs,
as if an angel came straight from Heaven
and whispered in all our ears
Find someone who looks
at you the way Louise Linton
looks at Steve Mnuchin
holding a sheet
of dollar bills with
his name on them
He raises his hands as if to bless us
we will
o yes, we will
