Like a Blending

The merger of two

Companies is like

A marriage. But it’s

More like a blending

Of families. Both

Of The firms have kids.

In order to keep

The family from

Warring and fighting,

Guidelines are drawn up

To ensure that the

Process is as smooth

As possible. The

Money that is made

From the business deal

Floods down through the right

Channels. The mergers

And acquisitions

Element of the

Free market signals

That cash can still flow

Into the accounts

Of all those involved.

The billions that rise

Up when companies

Link together show

Just how much wealth the

United States and

Its allies have made.
