Conclusion:
As a MooPig "Chief Truffle Analyst," I am going to say the story here is about boasting and shoving Green Goreconomics and financial bailout crisis in the faces of those who made it up. Our Pacific Rim Oriental Neighbors still have supreme buying power to pay full price, and to demand and charge list.

Question: While implementing the New Year changes to the law, must I become clairvoyant or will I be left to the capriciousness of the fates?

The rule will be left to two; they will hold it for a very short time
Appearing at the time of the great games of slaughter
The Senate Conclave will not approve of him
War to cease, civil processes, debates

The new baroque will go on voyages
Times good to bad, the sweet for the bitter
It will be seized and plunged into the Vat
Meanest assistance against their frontier

Example Two: Will the Gore Greenism spin on globalistic conditions be a beginning of a microcosm in literature and art?

Earth-shaking fire from the center of the Earth
That they will be the authors of a great conflict
To prepare for a journey torments the first offspring
Driven out by sea will fail at the time of need

[If you are unsure of what the response means, further guidance can be found in the Gideon Bible, available at most finer hotels and motels.]

Earth-shaking fire from the center of the Earth
Will one be elected for the trembling ship?
After victory pardon to the captives
Greedy to see the plume of smoke wail in the wind

From chapter 18 of Walden [1854] by Henry David Thoreau:

"Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises?
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." (Oft Quoted Line Used in The Godwulf Manuscript, Valediction, Ceremony, The Widening Gyre, Hugger Mugger, Family Honor, Perish Twice...)
